Date: Jan. 10, 2024 Contact: newsroom@ci.irs.gov Orlando, FL — United States Attorney Roger B. Handberg announces that Francis Galen Dulac has pleaded guilty to one count of tax evasion. Dulac faces a maximum penalty of five years in federal prison. A sentencing date has not yet been set. According to the plea agreement, from 2016 through 2022, Dulac filed taxes with the IRS each year showing a total income of between $12,000 and $20,000, while in reality, he was earning between $275,000 and $366,000 annually. By doing so, Dulac avoided paying more than half a million dollars in income taxes over seven years. Dulac was operating a nutrition and supplements business and derived more than $10,000 from the sale of illegal steroids. Dulac made extensive use of cash in his business, and purchased numerous Mercedes, Lamborghini, and Ferrari sports cars worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, which he financed by claiming annual incomes of $125,000 and $480,000. This case was investigated by the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation (CI). It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Dana E. Hill. CI is the criminal investigative arm of the IRS, responsible for conducting financial crime investigations, including tax fraud, narcotics trafficking, money-laundering, public corruption, healthcare fraud, identity theft and more. CI special agents are the only federal law enforcement agents with investigative jurisdiction over violations of the Internal Revenue Code, obtaining a more than a 90 percent federal conviction rate. The agency has 20 field offices located across the U.S. and 12 attaché posts abroad.
