As the case against several Houston ISD officials involved in a bribery scheme continues, we've learned new tax charges have been filed.
BACKGROUND DETAILS:According to a press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office, Brian Busby, 43, the former Chief Operating Officer for HISD, and contract vendor Anthony Hutchinson, 61, are facing new tax charges in relation the case.
The new charges claim the two filed false tax returns underreporting their income related to the scheme. Additionally, the court documents state Hutchinson falsely stated on the memo line of checks they were in payment for work that had been done on HISD properties.More specifically, Hutchinso reportedly got the cash used to pay bribes to HISD officials by writing checks to vendors, who then cashed the checks and provided it back to him.
Attorneys also say Hutchinson caused his gambling losses to be "improperly deducted" on corporate tax returns as alleged business expenses his companies incurred on construction or landscaping projects for HISD. Busby meanwhile, hid his involvement in the scheme by making cash deposits of the bribe proceeds into several bank accounts as well as falsely filing tax returns that failed to declare the cash bribes and other benefits as income.
