Timothy Duckworth, 47, Pleads Guilty to Making False Statements on Income Tax Returns
A hard-hitting investigation by the Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigations and the Federal Bureau of Investigation has led to the conviction of Metairie man Timothy Duckworth, 47, in connection with making false statements on his income tax returns.
According to court documents, Duckworth made false statements on his tax return for the year 2007, under-reporting his income in the amount of approximately $610,495. This resulted in Duckworth having taxes due and owing in the amount of approximately $213,579.
The case against Duckworth began when agents from the Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigations and the Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted a thorough investigation, uncovering evidence of Duckworth’s illicit activities. U.S. Attorney Kenneth A. Polite praised the work of the investigative agencies, saying they had done an outstanding job in bringing this case to justice.
Duckworth faces a maximum term of imprisonment of three years in prison, one year of supervised release after any term of imprisonment, and a $100,000 fine. U.S. District Judge Ivan L.R. Lemelle scheduled sentencing for March 25, 2015.
The prosecution was handled by Assistant United States Attorney Jordan Ginsberg, who worked tirelessly to ensure that justice was served in this case.
The people of Louisiana can rest assured that law enforcement agencies are working diligently to root out tax evasion and other white-collar crimes.
Duckworth’s guilty plea is a stark reminder that making false statements on income tax returns will not be tolerated. Those who engage in such activities will be held accountable and face the full force of the law.
As we continue to work towards a safer and more just society, it is imperative that we hold individuals accountable for their actions.
The conviction of Timothy Duckworth is a significant victory for the people of Louisiana and a testament to the hard work and dedication of the investigative agencies involved in this case.
