Former RT America Top Dawg gets sentence in tax fraud case |
2015-03-27 |
The former boss of the Kremlin’s Washington-based media empire has been sentenced to a year of supervised release for his 2013 tax fraud conviction, in which he admitted to cooking the books at RT America by filing over $1 million in phony tax deductions. Alexei Iazlovsky, a Maryland resident, had faced up to three years in prison after he pleaded guilty to filing false tax returns, a felony, in July 2013. His sentencing was repeatedly delayed while he cooperated with federal authorities that were prosecuting Iazlovsky’s accountant on charges of conspiracy to defraud the United States. In addition to supervised release, Iazlovsky will also have to pay a $60,000 fine and complete 640 hours of community service, according to Judge Terry J. Hatter, Jr.’s March 17 ruling. Iazlovsky is the president of RTTV America, Inc. and International TV Services, the U.S. companies that oversaw the financial, human resources, logistical, and production operations for the RT America news channel and the now-defunct Voice of Russia radio station. |

#1 By way of comparison, this guy gets six months in a Federal prison for failing to report income from a 1099-MISC form. That tells me Mr. Iazlovsky's connected. |
