Anthony Dattilo, a 34-year-old resident of Littleton, has been indicted by a federal grand jury on multiple charges related to an alleged scheme involving false tax returns. The United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado announced that Dattilo faces three counts each of wire fraud and false claims, as well as two counts of engaging in monetary transactions with property derived from unlawful activity.
The indictment alleges that Dattilo created a plan to defraud the United States Department of Treasury by submitting tax returns containing false information to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). As a result of these filings, it is claimed that Dattilo received more than $3 million in refunds from the IRS.
Officials emphasized that "the charges contained in the indictment are allegations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty."
The case is being investigated by IRS Criminal Investigation. Assistant United States Attorney Tim Neff is prosecuting the case.
Case Number: 25-cr-00345-SKC
