A federal grand jury has indicted 55 people in San Bernardino County in connection with an alleged tax fraud scheme involving the filing of false income tax returns seeking more than $250 million in bogus refunds, authorities said Monday.
Many of the defendants are charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States and face a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison if convicted.
Others are accused of making false claims against the United States, with a maximum sentence of five years.
The IRS investigation centered on two companies: Old Quest Foundation in Fontana and De la Fuente and Ramirez and Associates in Rancho Cucamonga.
