Former GlobeTel CFO charged with tax evasion

by Judith Tydd

07 Jan 2009

Thomas Jimenez, former CFO of GlobeTel Communications Inc, could be sentenced to as much as three years in prison if convicted of tax evasion charges.

Jimenez is alleged to have evaded taxes in connection with a purported scheme to hide millions of receivables and liabilities, according to cfo.com

The conviction could also bring a fine up to $US250,000 (£167,500) among other penalties imposed.

Prosecutors in the case have alleged Jimenez was responsible for preparing and filing tax forms when the corporate officers of GlobeTel Communications received stock as compensation. However, the stock was charged, and Jimenez subsequently failed to report it to the Internal Revenue Service.
