A Baltimore man has been sentenced to 25 months in prison for his role in a plot to file fraudulent tax returns on behalf of state prison inmates.
The U.S. Attorney's office says 66-year-old Giacumo Marzano was sentenced Tuesday for his guilty plea to charges of conspiracy to defraud the United States and aggravated identity theft. He was also ordered to pay $200,000 restitution.
Marzano was one of three people who pleaded guilty in the scheme.
Federal authorities say he gave blank federal tax returns to prison inmates, who then returned the completed forms with false information. Marzano submitted the returns to the IRS and received the fraudulent tax refund checks.
