Chicago, IL-(Effingham Radio)- A Chicago accountant is going to prison for defrauding the state out of more than 250-thousand-dollars.
Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul announced that Oscar Garrett was sentenced to 13 years after he was found guilty of theft of government property, identity theft, wire and mail fraud, forgery and income tax fraud. Raoul claims between January 2011 and December 2016, Garrett received phony tax refunds from the state by filing false tax forms on behalf of clients who didn’t have income to report. Garrett previously spent more than two and half years in federal prison after being convicted of a similar scheme defrauding the IRS.
