WASHINGTON -- THE U.S. RECEIVED $565,000 FROM A SWISS NATIONAL AFTER A SWISS COURT ORDERED THE PAYMENT AS DAMAGES FOR TAX FRAUD, THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT SAID.
A LAWYER AT THE DEPARTMENT SAID IT IS BELIEVED TO BE THE FIRST TIME A SWISS COURT HAS AWARDED THE U.S. A CIVIL RECOVERY FOR A TAX FRAUD.
IN THE CASE, THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE CHARGED THAT ARNO ARNDT AND HIS WIFE, MARLISE, USING VARIOUS NAMES, FRAUDULENTLY OBTAINED 134 TAX REFUNDS TOTALING $450,000 FOR THE YEARS 1970-76.
THE SWISS REFUSED TO EXTRADITE THE COUPLE FOR TRIAL IN THE U.S. BUT PROSECUTED THEM ON SIMILAR CRIMINAL CHARGES. MARLISE ARNDT WAS ACQUITTED, BUT ARNO ARNDT WAS CONVICTED IN 1981 AND SENTENCED TO TWO YEARS IN PRISON. IN A SUBSEQUENT PROCEEDING, HE WAS ORDERED TO PAY $600,000 TO THE U.S. THE JUDGMENT WAS REDUCED TO $565,000, REPRESENTING $410,000 IN FRAUDULENT REFUNDS, PLUS INTEREST.
