Kamal also filed false tax returns for the 2013 through 2017 tax years by claiming false and inflated unreimbursed medical and dental expenses. Kamal has agreed to cooperate with the IRS to pay $163,264 in back taxes, as well as interest and penalties. Kamal pleaded guilty to the offense on December 7, 2022. Kamal, who is released on a $50,000 bond, is required to report to prison on November 17. This matter was investigated by the Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation Division. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney David T. Huang.
