Omni International Case Raises Government Misconduct Questions

A criminal tax fraud case with many international issues has been delayed and perhaps irreparably botched by charges of misconduct by U.S. Attorneys and IRS investigators.  The indictment charges Omni International Corporation (Omni) and individuals associated with it for criminal violations.  In particular, the indictment alleges that income earned and reported by Omni's wholly-owned Bermuda subsidiary, Euro Finance, Ltd. (Euro Air), was attributable to, and tax theoreon should have been paid by Omni.  The defendants are represented by the leading criminal tax defense attorneys, including Cono R. Namorato, Caplin & Drysdale, in Washington, Marvin J. Garbis and Paul M. Junghans, of Garbis, Marvel & Junghans, in Baltimore, and Brendan V. Sullivan, Jr. and Barry Simon, of Wiliam & Connolly, in Washington.
