A 43-year-old man of Indian descent has been charged with a federal tax violation in Texas, United States. The Justice Department announced that Anil Surbhi was named in an indictment returned by a federal jury this week, facing charges of attempting to evade taxes. Surbhi is a permanent resident of the U.S. The indictment alleges that Surbhi, who operates an IT company based in Georgia, utilized company funds for personal investments and expenses, failing to report this as income when filing tax returns. Under U.S. law, tax evasion is a serious federal offense, resulting in potential civil and criminal penalties. Conviction can lead to a prison sentence of up to five years, or a fine of up to $250,000 for individuals. Corporations found guilty may face fines of up to $500,000.
