What can be said of a justice system that sentences a young mother of three to life in prison for a first-time and non-violent drug-related offense?

MAN CONVICTED FOR FAILING TO REPORT TO THE IRS OVER $5 MILLION IN INCOME FROM THE SALE OF COMPUTER PARTS AND SOFTWARE


SAN FRANCISCO—United States Attorney Joseph P. Russoniello and Special Agent in Charge, IRS Criminal Investigation, Scott O’Briant announced that Mohammad Yousuf Chaudhry was convicted by a federal jury on Friday of filing false tax returns, conspiracy, and structuring currency transactions to evade a reporting requirement. The jury, after deliberating over two days, found Mr. Chaudhry guilty of all 16 charges against him. The guilty verdict followed a one-week trial before U.S. District Court Judge Charles R. Breyer.

Evidence at trial showed that Mr. Chaudhry, of Los Altos, California, was involved in a conspiracy to structure transactions to avoid financial reporting requirements. Specifically, Mr. Chaudhry conspired with others to cash checks from his computer software customers in such a way that the $10,000 threshold that triggers the filing of a Currency Transaction Report or CTR was not triggered. He did not report the checks he had converted into cash as income for his two businesses – RT Computers (RT) and Alternative Energy Systems (AES) -- on the federal corporate income tax returns. In total, Mr. Chaudhry failed to report over $5 million in income on his corporate tax returns. One of his employees, Ali Khan of San Jose, California assisted Mr. Chaudhry with structuring transactions by cashing multiple checks in amounts less than $10,000 at local check cashers, instead of depositing those checks into business bank accounts. Some of those check cashers agreed they would not file Currency Transaction Reports (CTRs) with the IRS. Mr. Khan further helped to cover up Mr. Chaudhry’s scheme by filing false CTRs on behalf of RT and AES and by using a false signature when endorsing checks. Mr. Khan participated in cashing over 150 checks, and Mr. Chaudhry personally cashed many more. Mr. Khan pleaded guilty on May 27, 2008 to 26 USC § 7207 (filing false documents with the Internal Revenue Service).

Mr. Chaudhry was indicted by a federal grand jury on October 23, 2003. He was charged with five counts of subscribing to a false corporate income tax return filed with the Internal Revenue Service, in violation of Title 26, United States Code, Section 7206(1); one count of conspiring to structure transactions to evade reporting requirements in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 371; and 11 counts of structuring transactions for the purpose of evading a reporting requirement, in violation of Title 31, United States Code, Section 5324(a)(3). One count of filing a false corporate return was dismissed at the close of the government’s case.

The sentencing of Mr. Chaudhry is scheduled for September 17, 2008, before Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco. The maximum statutory penalty for the conspiracy charge is five years in prison and a fine of $250,000. The maximum statutory penalty for each count in violation of Title 26 Section 7206(1) is up to three years in prison and a fine of $100,000, plus restitution. The maximum statutory penalty for each count of structuring is five years in prison and a fine of $250,000. However, any sentence following conviction would be imposed by the court after consideration of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and the federal statute governing the imposition of a sentence, 18 U.S.C. § 3553.

FORMER CLAY COUNTY SHERIFF’S CHARGED WITH EXCESSIVE FORCE,OBSTRUCTING JUSTICE


KANSAS CITY, Mo. – John F. Wood, United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced that a former deputy with the Clay County Sheriff’s Department was charged in federal court today with violating a defendant’s civil rights by using unreasonable force during an arrest and with obstruction of justice.

Donald A. Devens, 59, of Smithville, Mo., waived his right to a grand jury and was charged in a two-count information filed in the U.S. District Court in Kansas City. Devens was a Clay County deputy for four years before resigning on Oct. 7, 2005.

The federal charges stem from an incident that occurred on Aug. 16, 2005, while Devens was on road patrol near Kearney. Devens began pursuing a pickup truck that was traveling at a high rate of speed. Eventually, Devens and Kearney, Mo., police officers stopped the vehicle, which was driven by Wesley A. Lewis, and Lewis was arrested.

The information charges Devens with deprivation of rights under color of law. Devens allegedly assaulted Lewis, thereby depriving him of his Constitutional right to be free from the use of unreasonable force by one acting under color of law, resulting in bodily injury to Lewis.

The information also charges Devens with obstruction of justice. Devens allegedly destroyed a videotape recording of Lewis’ arrest that was taped from the Devens’ patrol vehicle. Devens destroyed the videotape, the information alleges, in order to obstruct the investigation involving Lewis’ arrest.

Under federal statutes, if convicted of both charges, Devens could be subject to a sentence of up to 30 years in federal prison without parole, plus a fine up to $500,000. Wood cautioned that the charges contained in this information are simply accusations, and not evidence of guilt. Evidence supporting the charges must be presented to a federal trial jury, whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.

This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Roseann A. Ketchmark. It was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation
