FORMER NEW YORK POLICE CHIEF INDICTED FOR TAX EVASION
November 09, 2007
Rudy Giuliani's police chief is facing federal tax charges, according to published reports. The sealed indictment reportedly charges Bernard Kerik with accepting rent help from a real estate developer and $160,000 in remodeling work from a "mob-linked" construction firm.
There's something strange about policemen who get into tax trouble. Do they get so caught up in local enforcement that federal laws don't seem to count? Or is there a temptation for those who enforce the law to feel above it - like a squad car changing lanes without bothering to signal?
With Mr. Giuliani a front-runner in most nationwide presidential polls, this could be more interesting than most tax prosecutions.

I think it is only interesting if Guiliani is found to have known about it when he recommended him to be the Secretary of Homeland Security to President Bush.
