Winchester Man Convicted Of Cheating On Taxes, Reports U.S. Attorney
27 October 2006 A Winchester man pleaded guilty today in federal court to evading taxes and filing false tax returns in connection with the operation of his Stoneham Pizza shop.
United States Attorney Michael J. Sullivan and Douglas A. Bricker, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation in New England, announced today that KONSTANTINOS KOMBOURAS, age 55, of 18 Surrey Road, Winchester, Massachusetts, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Patti B. Saris to a five-count Information charging him with tax evasion and filing false tax returns.
At today's plea hearing the prosecutor told the Court that, had the case proceeded to trial, the evidence would have proven that as early as 1999, KOMBOURAS skimmed cash receipts from the register of his business, Andrea's Pizza, in Stoneham, Massachusetts, and deposited the cash into his personal checking account. KOMBOURAS did not report these cash receipts on his personal income tax returns, nor on the corporate tax returns for Andrea's Pizza.
Judge Saris scheduled sentencing for January 23, 2007. KOMBOURAS faces up to 5 years' imprisonment, to be followed by 3 years of supervised release, and a $100,000 fine.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation. It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney S. Waqar Hasib in Sullivan's Economic Crimes Unit.
