Rochester Attorney Arraigned on Tax Charges for Failing to File Income Tax Returns

by New York State Department of Taxation and Finance ALBANY, NY (07/29/2010)(readMedia)-- New York State Department of Taxation and Finance Acting Commissioner Jamie Woodward announced today that Louis V. Asandrov, a Rochester lawyer, was arraigned July 28 before Judge Maija C. Dixon in Rochester City Court on charges for failing to file state personal income tax returns for three years. Asandrov, 52, who resides at 227 Rosewood Terrace, is charged with five misdemeanor counts under New York State Tax Law for failing to file income tax returns for tax years 2006, 2007 and 2008, and failing to pay tax liabilities for 2006 and 2007. If convicted, Asandrov could face up to a year in prison for each misdemeanor charge. Asandrov, a licensed attorney in New York State since 1984, currently operates a solo practice at 159 Fitzhugh South, in the City of Rochester. His law practice includes representing taxpayers before the Tax Department. The charges are the result of a continuing initiative by the Tax Department to identify individuals who have failed to file and remit personal income taxes to the State. Acting Commissioner Woodward said, "People who purposely fail to pay their taxes force the rest of us to shoulder a greater burden. Honest taxpayers can rest assured that we are committed to seeing that the tax laws are equitably and impartially enforced and that all taxpayers, especially those who can most afford to do so, pay their fair share. "The State offers programs such as the Voluntary Disclosure and Compliance Program to encourage delinquent taxpayers to become compliant without facing criminal prosecution or civil penalty. It is hoped that this case will encourage such taxpayers to come forward and satisfy their obligations. For more information about these programs, go to the Department's website at www.nystax.gov." Acting Commissioner Woodward also commended Monroe County District Attorney Michael C. Green and his staff for their aggressive prosecution of this case. The defendant is presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Former Monroe County Employee Robert Morone Pleads Guilty to a New Charge of Defrauding Monroe County

ROCHESTER, NY—U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul Jr. announced today that Robert Morone, 54, of Gates, New York, a former Monroe County employee, pleaded guilty in front of District Court Judge David G. Larimer to defrauding Monroe County of money relating to the services of county workers, paid for with federal funds. The charge carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a fine of $250,000. Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard A. Resnick, Chief of the Office’s White Collar Division who is handling the case, stated that Morone had previously pled guilty on December 22, 2009, to using the mail to defraud Monroe County of his honest services. However, on June 24, 2010, the U. S. Supreme Court decided a trio of cases involving honest-services mail and wire fraud and limited the scope of the honest services fraud criminal statute. As a result, the government and Morone have asked the district court to vacate his initial plea of guilty in lieu of today’s plea to a different criminal statute. The facts leading to today’s guilty plea remain the same as described previously. Morone was employed by Monroe County as Superintendent of Maintenance and Construction, and was assigned to Monroe County’s Department of Environmental Services (“DES”). His duties as supervisor included being in charge of Monroe County’s building maintenance projects. Robutrad Corporation was a corporation set-up to employ union members for the purpose of providing skilled labor to Monroe County, including carpenters, plumbers, painters, electricians and laborers for such projects. Morone oversaw the Robutrad workers who were assigned to the DES and was in charge of providing them work assignments and supervising their daily activities and assuring time records are accurately provided. He also had authority to order materials which would be used by the maintenance and construction unit. From at least 2005 to November 2008, Morone admitted that he executed a scheme to defraud Monroe County of money by causing the county to pay the Robutrad workers for days and hours they never actually performed services. He falsified time records to show workers had worked on specific projects when in fact they had not. Workers often got paid for working on non-county projects or days-off. Non county projects included working on private individuals’ properties, some related to Morone, doing his errands and providing services to the Monroe County Republican Party. In addition, Morone acknowledged that on many occasions, he reimbursed the workers with Monroe County funds in exchange for the workers making political donations to the Monroe County Republican Party. On other occasions, Morone had Robutrad workers pay him a portion of the illegal funds they received from Monroe County. The parties agreed in the plea agreement that the loss to Monroe County was between $400,000 and $1,000,000. The plea agreement also provides that Morone has agreed to cooperate with the federal and state governments in any ongoing investigations. “This scheme was nothing less than a form of public corruption” said U.S. Attorney Hochul. “As today’s conviction demonstrates, our Office stands ready and willing to investigate and fully prosecute corruption or theft of public money, in whatever form it may take in the future.” The plea was the culmination of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge James Robertson; the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, under the direction of Patrick O'Flynn; and the Monroe County District Attorney's Office under the direction of District Attorney Michael Green. A sentencing status conference is scheduled for Nov. 4th in front of Judge Larimer.

(Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) · The proportion of drivers reportedly distracted at the time of the fatal crashes has increased from 8 percent in 2004 to 11 percent in 2008. (NHTSA) · Younger, less experienced drivers under 20 years old have the highest proportion of distraction-related fatal crashes.
