LOS ANGELES, Dec 8 – The US Department of Justice has filed new criminal charges against Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, for not paying US$1.4 million in taxes (about 49.26 million baht) but using the money to live a lavish lifestyle. .
Hunter Biden is charged with three felonies and six tax charges, and if convicted, he will be charged and faces up to 17 years in prison, a federal district court in central California said in a filing Thursday. The indictment alleges that Hunter Biden failed to pay at least $1.4 million in taxes from 2016 to 2019, and instead spent much of the money on a lavish lifestyle. He earns a good income from being a board member of a Ukrainian industrial group and a private equity fund. He spends money lavishly: in 2018 alone, he spent at least US$1.8 million (about 63.33 million baht), including cash withdrawals. The women paid for clothes and accessories but did not pay taxes that year at all
Hunter Biden, 53, the second son of President Biden and his first wife, who died in a car accident when he was just two years old, has been charged in Delaware with lying about drug use to buy a gun. He denied this in October and this is the first time that charges have been brought against the son of a president still in office.-814-Thai News Agency
