Caused IRS Tax Loss of Almost $5 Million, Authorities Charge
MICHIGAN — A Michigan man who operated an international vehicle-shipping business has been indicted for allegedly failing to report to the IRS millions of dollars the business received each year from 2017 to 2020.
Ali Kassem Kain also allegedly filed false personal tax returns by not reporting all of the income he earned from the business.
The Northville man made his initial court appearance Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Michigan’s Eastern District.
Kain’s also accused of improperly handling Social Security, Medicare and federal income taxes related to his employees’ wages. His actions, federal prosecutors say, resulted in the IRS experiencing a loss of nearly $5 million in tax revenue, according to a U.S. Department of Justice news release issued Wednesday.
Kain faces 23 counts in total and could be sentenced to decades in prison if convicted.
Northville is about 30 miles east of Detroit.
