A Dallas attorney was arrested and charged with multiple counts of fraud for his alleged role in a $1 billion tax shelter scheme, authorities announced Thursday.
According to the indictment, Garza created shell companies that would purport to provide services to clients' businesses or serve as investment vehicles. In reality, they had no legitimate purpose and served only to move money around.
The scheme also involved preparing and filing fraudulent tax returns. Garza and others involved in the scheme would falsely deduct expenses for services that were never performed, create receipts for payments not earned, deduct payments from the investment company for annuities that did not exist, and underreport their clients' individual incomes.
