Annenberg Tax Evasion Case Heard In Chicago
Counsel for M L Annenberg argued in Chicago that inexperience rather than criminal intent caused tax evasion as he faces up to five years in prison and a 10000 dollar fine after pleading guilty to evasion of over 1 million dollars. The case centers on Annenberg’s 1936 income from publishing and horse race information services and the Ceclia Company holdings. The government agrees the maximum penalty is suitable. Judge Wilkerson may sentence immediately or review the matter.
