A Florida dentist was sentenced to two years in prison after being found guilty of tax evasion.
Between 2014 and 2020, Frantz Brignol, DMD, evaded tax payments by hiding money in his mother's bank accounts, trading funds overseas in his mother's name and making false statements on financial disclosure forms. He amassed more than $600,000 in tax liabilities, the Justice Department said Aug. 4.
In addition to his prison sentence, Dr. Brignol was ordered to pay the IRS $896,588.89 for his outstanding tax liabilities, according to a Dec. 15 news release.
