A mother, her son and a second woman have been indicted in an alleged tax scam with illegal returns of about $300,000, according to federal prosecutors.
Jaquon Mucsarney, 35, of Aurora, appeared Monday in U.S. District Court in Denver, where he faces charges of defrauding the IRS, according to a U.S. Attorney, District of Colorado, media release.
Also charged in the case are Schosche Mucsarney, 54, of Aurora, Jaquon’s mother, as well as Sherry Charleston.
The trio were indicted by a Federal Grand Jury in Denver on January 7, 2016.
Starting in January 2011, the three suspects and others, known and unknown to a grand jury, devised a scheme to defraud the IRS, the prosecutors charged in a release.
They allegedly provided false information to the IRS, including using shell corporations and stolen social security numbers to claim refunds in excess of $2 million, of which about $300,000 was paid, prosecutors said.
The defendants face multiple counts of mail fraud and multiple counts of false claims, among other charges.
