Gas Station Owner Guilty of Evasion
A Michigan gas station owner was found guilty of three counts of filing a false tax return after a five-day bench trial.
According to court records, from 1999 to 2001, Yousef Safiedine, 60, of Farmington Hills, owned a gas station in Dearborn, Mich., which he leased to a family member. He received monthly payments from either JLJ Enterprises or MTK Family Investments and reported only a portion of the rental income, $134,000 per year, on his tax returns. Over the three-year period, Safiedine failed to include more than $160,000 in income on his tax returns.
He faces up to three years in prison and a fine of up to $100,000.
