Italy Rearrests Dutch Tax Advisor for Helping U.S. Taxpayers Conceal Income

On July 12, 2023, the Italian authorities rearrested Frank Butselaar, a Dutch tax advisor, for participating in a conspiracy to commit tax fraud on behalf of U.S. taxpayers.  Butselaar advised high-net-worth DJs and fashion industry clients who earned income internationally.  The clients earned millions of dollars each year.  In certain years, the clients became U.S. tax residents and, as a result, were required to report and pay U.S. taxes on their worldwide income.
