They got Capone on tax charges. The Cedar Rapids Landlord, too.

January 12, 2009

A "Cedar Rapids landlord" who is said to own "hundreds of rental properties" in Linn County was convicted of two tax evasion counts last week as part of an insurance fraud scheme:

It took a Sioux City jury just two hours to convict Robert Miell on Friday.
The 54-year-old was convicted in U.S. District Court of filing false tax returns in an insurance fraud scheme from which he collected more than $336,000 for hail damage on 145 properties from American Family Mutual in 2001 and 2002.

Mr. Miell had already pleaded guilty to mail fraud and perjury charges. The entire indictment is here.
