Cittadini appeared today before Magistrate Judge Mary Alice Theiler in Seattle and accepted responsibility for concealing nearly $2 million in Swiss bank accounts. According to court documents and statements made in court, Cittadini, a retired sales manager for Boeing, failed to report income from bank accounts under his control at UBS AG in Switzerland on his individual income tax returns from 2001 through 2003. Additionally, Cittadini failed to file a Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (F-BAR) for each of these years. "Todays guilty plea in Washington state follows guilty pleas in New Jersey, California and Florida," said John A DiCicco, Acting Assistant Attorney General of the Justice Departments Tax Division. "Individuals all over the country who are hiding income and assets in offshore accounts would be well-advised to promptly come in and come clean before the government learns about their accounts through other channels." "This is a time of reckoning for those who thought they had found a safe haven for cheating," said United States Attorney Jenny A. Durkan. "People who avoid paying their fair share hurt all of us who follow the law and conscientiously pay our taxes."
