Anthony Dattilo, a 34-year-old resident of Littleton, Colorado, has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges that include three counts of wire fraud, three counts of false claims, and two counts of engaging in monetary transactions with property obtained from unlawful activity. The indictment alleges that Dattilo submitted false tax returns to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which resulted in refunds totaling over $3 million.
According to prosecutors, “Dattilo devised a scheme to defraud and obtain money from the United States Department of Treasury, namely the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), by making false statements on tax returns which he filed with the IRS. Those false returns caused the IRS to refund Dattilo more than $3 million.”
The U.S. Attorney’s Office emphasized that these are allegations and that Dattilo is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
The investigation is being conducted by IRS Criminal Investigation, and Assistant United States Attorney Tim Neff is leading the prosecution.
Case Number: 25-cr-00345-SKC
