Restaurant Owner Sentenced to 10 Years Probation for Tax Evasion
Restitution Totaling More Than $19,000 Paid Prior to Sentencing
HARRISBURG, Pa., Oct. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- A Pittsburgh man has been sentenced to 10 years of probation for failing to pay state sales tax collected from customers and employer withholding taxes collected from employees, Secretary of Revenue Gregory C. Fajt said today.
Ilcho "Lee" Yovanof, 52, former owner of Yovi's Little Bit of Chicago, 643 Liberty Ave., Pittsburgh, pleaded guilty to 42 counts of state tax offenses in Dauphin County Court of Common Pleas on Oct. 9.
Judge Todd A. Hoover sentenced Yovanof to 10 years of probation and ordered him to pay $8,400 in fines and court costs. Yovanof paid $19,439.44 to the commonwealth prior to sentencing for the sales and employer withholding taxes owed between February 2003 and November 2005. Yovanof also failed to file state personal income tax returns in 2003 and 2004.
Yovanof owned Yovi's Little Bit of Chicago from October 1987 until it closed in July 2006. Yovanof was previously convicted on state tax violations in 1993 and 1997.
The Department of Revenue's Office of Criminal Tax Investigations developed the case against Yovanof and referred it to the Office of Attorney General after he refused to voluntarily comply. Senior Deputy Attorney General George R. Zaiser prosecuted the case on behalf of the commonwealth.
