A grand jury has returned a new indictment against two brothers — members of the polygamous Kingston family — and a third man accused of engaging in a biofuel tax scam and laundering the proceeds.
Jacob and Isaiah Kingston and Lev Aslan Dermen, commonly known as Levon Termendzhyan, were first indicted on 15 counts in August in what prosecutors say was a scheme involving the brothers’ company, Washakie Renewable Energy. Wednesday, a grand jury in Salt Lake City returned a superseding indictment, which adds new counts or changes old ones.
In the new bill, Jacob Kingston is charged with 25 counts of filing false returns with the IRS and money laundering.
