Texas: Indian-Origin Resident Accused of Federal Tax Evasion

Anil Surbhi, a 43-year-old individual of Indian origin and a permanent U.S. resident, has been charged with federal tax evasion in Texas. A federal jury issued an indictment this week, according to the Justice Department. The charges stem from allegations that Surbhi, who runs an IT company headquartered in Georgia, used company funds for personal gain without declaring it as taxable income. The penalties for tax evasion in the United States are severe. Individuals convicted of tax evasion could face up to five years imprisonment and a fine of up to $250,000. Corporations found guilty could be fined up to $500,000.
