The feds apparently aren't yet done going after ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, who is serving a 28-year prison sentence for public corruption in El Reno, Ok.
The IRS is investigating real estate deals by Kilpatrick and wife Carlita Kilpatrick and attempting to find anyone who gave money to him from 1992 to 2008, Jennifer Chambers of the Detroit News reports. Kilpatrick resigned in 2008 amid the text-message scandal.
Chambers reports:
According to a summons filed on July 6 with Kilpatrick’s criminal defense lawyer Harold Gurewitz, the IRS is seeking financial records held by the couple from 2003 to 2008 that include bank statements, deposit details and canceled checks.
The IRS also wants documents related to the sale of two Kilpatrick homes in Detroit, on Santa Rosa and Leslie, and for Kilpatrick's lawyer to turn over records that would “identify each person who gave money (in cash, check, other) to Kwame Kilpatrick from 1992 through 2008.”
The deadline for the records is Tuesday, but Gurewitz is asking a federal judge to quash the summons, saying the government likely already has such records through the IRS, the News reports.
