Notice the locations, names of groups.
02/27/1993 WEST BEND, Wis. (UPI) -- The Internal Revenue Service
flexed its muscles Friday, raiding the properties in two counties of
three leaders allegedly connected with a tax protest group.
Dozens of IRS agents swarmed four locations in Marathon and
Washington counties to execute search warrants and seized financial
records and other evidence in an investigation of possible criminal
violations of federal tax laws, said special agent Michael Lacenski.
Lacenski, the group supervisor for the IRS Criminal Investigation
Division in Madison, said agents searched the home of robert A.
Iacoe, near West Bend, and the Marathon County residences of Frank
A. Wysocki Sr. and Alan D. Cooper. Larcenski said agents also
searched Iacoe's business in West Bend.
None of the three men was charged or taken into custody, according
to Lacenski, but still remain under investigation by the IRS.
"These three individuals are all self-professed leaders of the
illegal tax protest group which calls themselves Sovereign Citizens
for Liberty," Lacenski said.
According to Lacenski, the IRS is investigating the group for
possible income tax evasion, aiding and assisting other people in
income tax evasion, conspiracy to impede the function of the IRS and
filing fraudulent tax returns.
Wysocki, the leader of the group, said Sovereign Citizens is not
a tax protest group and members have done nothing illegal.
