TUCSON – A former Tucson resident, Van Raymond Brollini, was sentenced to 33 months in prison for evading payment of approximately $310,000 in federal tax owed to the government.
Brollini was also ordered by U.S. District Judge Cindy K. Jorgenson to pay $510,937.68 in restitution and approximately $6,000 in prosecution costs. Brollini was remanded into federal custody immediately after his sentence.
According to the Department of Justice, a federal jury had previously found Brollini guilty of tax evasion, corrupt interference with tax administration, and failure to file a tax return. The evidence presented at trial demonstrated that Brollini, a former engineer at National Semiconductor Corporation, evaded payment of taxes assessed by the Internal Revenue Service from 2002 through 2004, and failed to file a return as required by law for tax years 2006 through 2009.
