Werk 13,166 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Fired Minneapolis police officer Dereek Chauvin and estranged wife face 9 felony tax charges The irony that he killed George over a counterfeit 20 dollar bill but cheated the government out of tens of thousands of dollars. Spoiler They underreported more than $460,000 in earnings and owe the government nearly $38,000, according to the charges. The fired Minneapolis police officer charged with killing George Floyd was charged along with his wife Wednesday with felony tax crimes dating back to 2014 that allege failure to claim more than $460,000 in income — at least $96,000 of that in his off-duty security work. From 2014 to 2019, the Chauvins underreported $464,433 in joint income and owed a total of $21,853 in taxes, according to the charges. With interest and late filing and fraud penalties, they owe $37,868, the complaints said. Orput said state Department of Revenue officials contacted his office in June with what they found, and “they were sending [Chauvin] letters last year” about no returns being filed, “and they got no response.” The filing includes a litany of allegations. Among them, prosecutors say the Chauvins bought a new BMW X5 in January 2018 for $100,230 from a Minnetonka dealership and registered the SUV in Florida — they own a condo in Windermere, outside Orlando — and paid $4,664 in taxes in that state. However, the vehicle was serviced 11 times in Minnetonka and never in Florida, investigators say they found. Kellie Chauvin told investigators they opted for Florida because it was less expensive. The taxes due on the SUV had it been registered in Minnesota were $5,053. Court records do not list an attorney for either of the Chauvins. Derek Chauvin’s criminal attorney, Eric Nelson, said he knows nothing about the tax allegations. The complaints said that between 2014 and 2019, Derek Chauvin made between $52,000 and $72,000 annually as a police officer. He also worked off-duty security nearly every weekend in that time at El Nuevo Rodeo dance club, Cub Foods, Midtown Global Market and EME Antro Bar on E. Lake Street. During that span, Chauvin failed to pay taxes on nearly $96,000 he earned from El Nuevo Rodeo alone, investigators estimated. Beginning in June 2019, he routinely worked off-duty at EME Antro Bar on weekends from 11 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. after his MPD shift and was paid $250 in cash each night, said investigators, who located no corresponding tax papers. In short, For 2016, 2017 and 2018, the Chauvins didn’t even bother to file a return, and they under-reported on the years they did file, like 2014 and 2015. https://www.startribune.com/fired-minneapolis-officer-derek-chauvin-wife-charged-with-tax-crimes/571864051/ https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/22/us/minneapolis-fired-police-officer-chauvin-felony-tax-charges/index.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he'll even be charged for murder at this point after the leaked video, probably a lesser charge. Not saying he was in the right by any means, the knee on the neck was not necessary at all.
