IRS and Justice Department Speak Out
Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General Karen E. Kelly of the Justice Department’s Tax Division and U.S. Attorney Hayden P. O’Byrne for the Southern District of Florida jointly announced the guilty plea. The investigation was spearheaded by the IRS Criminal Investigation’s International Tax & Financial Crimes Unit, with assistance from the Justice Department’s Office of International Affairs.
Prosecutors emphasized the government’s unwavering commitment to exposing and prosecuting sophisticated tax evasion schemes. “No matter how complex the scheme or how far individuals go to conceal assets, we will aggressively pursue those who seek to defraud the U.S. tax system,” Kelly stated.
As Rosenberg awaits sentencing, financial crime experts speculate that this case could lead to further investigations into individuals who attempt to exploit international banking networks to evade tax responsibilities.
The IRS has long signaled that no tax dodger is beyond its reach, and this high-profile prosecution only strengthens that assertion.
