APPEALS COURT AFFIRMS DISMISSAL OF KPMG CASE CHARGES
August 28, 2008
The judge in the criminal case involving tax shelters marketed by KPMG dropped 13 defendants from the case last summer. Five defendants remained under indictment.
The Second Circuit court of Appeals in New York upheld the trial judge's decision today. The courts held that the defendants were denied their right to counsel when the Department of Justice pressured KPMG to not pay employee and partner legal fees.
