“Hundreds of billions of dollars are lost every year because people like the defendant choose to shirk their responsibilities as taxpayers,” prosecutors wrote. “Put bluntly, meaningful sentences must be given in cases such as this to forewarn others of the consequences for engaging in multi-year tax fraud.”
The New York Times, in collaboration with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, reported on von der Goltz’s work with Mossack Fonseca in June 2016. One day after the story, prosecutors said, von der Goltz left a voicemail with Gaffey.
“Unfortunately,” von der Goltz said, “with the interview I had with the IRS [Internal Revenue Service]and the, whatchamacallit, the Justice Department, I think there’s some bad issues regarding having lied, so that’s of course critical for me now, I’m in real trouble.”
Von der Goltz, also known as Gogo, left the U.S. while under investigation and continued to mislead U.S. investigators as the net closed in, authorities said.
