IRS warned over Leprechaun may aid criminals
A congressional probe concluded the IRS feared a free pass for organized crime and tax cheats after Operation Leprechaun, which aimed to gather tax related data on political corruption suspects. Rep. Charles Vanik said the project was miscast by the service and led to stricter rules that discouraged informants and hindered intelligence gathering. He warned the changes could bolster tax evasion by corrupt officials and criminals. The subcommittee will explore links to the suspended Tradewinds probe and outside investigations into IRS officials.
