IRS Agents Investigate Tax Evaders

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Rutherford, New Jersey, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) September 21, 2011 -- Rutherford, New Jersey, August 11, 2011—When one imagines the IRS, one might think of a persnickety accountant who wants to know why someone filled in some obscure form incorrectly, not an elite team of dedicated professionals tracking down some of the world’s best-known criminals. However, the IRS Criminal Investigation Division (IRS-CI) prosecutes thousands of people each year for criminal tax evasion, including prominent businesspeople, powerful politicians, notorious criminals—and ordinary citizens.

IRS-CI has over four thousand employees, including 2,800 special agents in three divisions: Legal Source Tax Crimes, Illegal Source Tax Crimes and Narcotics Related Financial Crimes. Since the conviction of Al Capone for tax evasion in the 1930s, IRS-CI has had a record of convicting major narcotics traffickers and other big-name criminals for tax evasion and other financial crimes. Because money laundering and tax evasion are almost requirements to spend large sums of money earned from crime, IRS-CI has had much success in prosecuting criminals for those side effects of their criminal activities.

IRS-CI’s agents are highly skilled: the conviction rate for federal tax prosecutions has not fallen below 90% since 1911, which is unmatched in federal law enforcement. An IRS-CI is a consummate professional who is an expert in financial law. In order to be one of the lucky few who isn’t convicted, you must hire a New Jersey tax lawyer experienced in dealing with IRS criminal prosecutions .

Although its jurisdiction has expanded and now includes money laundering and currency violations in addition to tax violations, the IRS-CI remains focused on ensuring the integrity of the American tax system. In the pursuit of this goal, they are willing to prosecute anyone who seems to be guilty of tax evasion. For this reason, if you are being investigated by the IRS, hiring an experienced New Jersey tax lawyer is a necessity. A New Jersey tax lawyer will defend you against the IRS’s charges of tax evasion and make it more likely you will walk away a free person. However, it’s best to avoid anything that will bring the attention of these agents in the first place.
