Vesco Tax Fight Seeks $8000000 From Vesco and One Wife
IRS seeks about 8000000 in back taxes penalties and interest from Robert Vesco and his wife in a tax case spanning 1971 1973. Tax records allege undeclared ICC related income and payments for private aircraft and expenses while Vesco argues unreported income remains unproven. The case ties to investigations in Bahamas and a New York conspiracy and obstruction case involving campaign contributions. Vesco resided in Nassau and Boonton New Jersey during the period.
