Minneapolis, MN (KROC-AM News) - A Minnesota man has been indicted on felony charges in a multi-million-dollar tax fraud case.
A news release issued by the U.S. Attorney for Minnesota says Caesar Munir Wilson has been charged with conspiracy to file false claims for tax refunds, filing a false claim for a tax refund, money laundering, and bank fraud. The indictment alleges the criminal activity occurred from 2022 to 2023.
According to federal prosecutors, Wilson filed false tax returns that requested more than $90 million in refunds and conspired in the filing of additional false tax returns requesting a total of more than $210 million in refunds. The news release says Wilson’s fraudulent claims allegedly totaled more than $350 million and resulted in the U.S. Treasury issuing more than $19 million in fraudulent refunds.
It is alleged that Wilson used the refund money to purchase a $2.6 million home in Prior Lake, invest in cryptocurrency and other projects, and cover personal expenses.
According to the indictment, Wilson advised a group of “sovereign citizens” concerning trusts and taxes and provided them with tax forms and documents for filings. The news release describes “sovereign citizens” as people who wrongly believe that the federal income tax and certain other laws do not apply to a person’s “sovereign persona.”
