Illegal alien gets 2 years in prison for trying to bribe IRS agent

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

A Texas restaurant owner has been sentenced to two years in jail after he was convicted of trying to bribe an IRS agent by offering her free pizza and a job.

Ramesh G. Khilnani, 51, a Houston-area resident and a native of India, offered pizza and “work” to an IRS agent in February 2008 after an audit of his business showed that he owed $49,000 in back taxes for the years 2004 to 2007. The auditor, suspecting she was being offered a bribe, reported the incident to her supervisor.

Agents from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration arranged for the recording of subsequent meetings – via telephone and in person – between the agent and Khilnani. During the course of these contacts, Khilnani offered the agent $2,500 and delivered $2,000 in exchange for having his tax liability reduced from $49,000 to around $500. In addition to financial compensation, Khilnani repeatedly offered the agent pizza from his restaurant as part of the deal.

Khilnani pleaded guilty and was convicted of bribery of a public official. U.S. District Judge Ewing Werlein Jr. sentenced Khilnani to 24 months in federal prison for bribery of a public official. He has been in federal custody since his arrest in October 2008 and will remain in custody to serve his sentence.

Khilnani is a citizen of India and has no legal status in the U.S., according to prosecutors, and he is subject to deportation upon completion of his prison term.

Indian pizza isn't that bad, there are a bunch of desi pizza joints near me. They're pretty good but the eye-talian mom n pop shops are still much much better.

This should be right up there on the immigration boards as a warning to all the scamsters who keep coming here with their immigration fraud schemes.

Let'em know what happens to EvilDoers.

What's this country coming to when illegals can't offer bribes without fear of repercussion? This is not being very illegal friendly.
