Tomorrow morning, July 12th, Beanie Sigel will be sentenced for his current court case at the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Beanie had previously pleaded guilty for his failure to file federal income-tax returns from 2003-’05, and owes the IRS approximately $348,077 in back taxes that accumulated during that time period. Sigel apparently made $1 million between ’03-’05 but never paid any tax money for his net income.
Sigel’s attorney, Fortunato N. Perri Jr., spoke to XXLMag.com about his pending case.
“It’s difficult to predict the outcome in cases like this. The sentencing judge is going to evaluate all the factors, including his background. Hopefully, the court will recognize that this is not a crime of violence. However, incarceration is an option.”
Hopefully Sigel won’t have to do any jail time for this financial issue.
