A federal grand jury on Wednesday handed up a new indictment charging politically-connected developer and ex-Utah Transit Authority board member Terry Diehl with tax evasion and filing a false return, so he could avoid paying a tax bill of more than $300,000.
Prosecutors say Diehl falsely recorded income of $1 million earned by his Wasatch Pacific company for work related to the 2011 sale of land near 12800 South in Draper to eBay.
The charges are on top of 12 felony charges already lodged against Diehl in Salt Lake City’s U.S. District Court in April for allegedly lying about or concealing assets in a 2012 bankruptcy proceeding.
