Va. Man Faces Prison Again for Tax Evasion Charge
A Virginia man may be headed back to prison for tax evasion.
Richard C. Menner, 48, of Glen Allen, Va., was convicted on five counts of filing a false federal tax return and one count of obstruction of justice following a three-day jury trial.
Menner was previously convicted in federal court in 1998 on five counts of failing to file his individual income tax returns for tax years 1991 through 1995 after evidence was introduced at trial showing that he had received income from various individuals and building contractors during the prosecution years.
After Menner was released from prison, evidence showed he obstructed the IRS’s attempts to assess and collect the taxes owed for tax years 1991 to 1995 by repeatedly submitting documents to the IRS that set forth frivolous legal arguments claiming that he had not earned any income during those years and that he owed no tax.
