Wanted for

Income Tax Evasion (Four Counts)

Caution

Nakhle Nader is wanted on four counts of income tax evasion. From about October of 2013 to September of 2016, in the Northern District of Ohio and elsewhere, Nader allegedly attempted to evade paying income tax that was due by preparing and submitting to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) four false and fraudulent United States Individual Income Tax Returns for the calendar years 2012 through 2015. During that time, Nader owned and managed the daily operations of three liquor stores in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, but placed the legal ownership of the businesses in the names of various relatives as nominees. Nader allegedly withheld information from his tax preparer regarding several sources of additional income, debt forgiveness received in 2013, and his repeated use of business monies to pay for personal expenses. He also allegedly underreported his personal income resulting in taxes being due to the IRS. On September 26, 2019, a federal arrest warrant was issued for Nader in the United States District for the Northern District of Ohio, Cleveland, Ohio, after he was charged with income tax evasion.
