US soldiers arriving from Afghanistan at the Manas Transit Center in Kyrgyzstan on February 26, 2009.Former U.S. defense contractor Douglas Edelman , 72, and his French wife, Delphine Le Dain, 58, have been charged in a decades-long scheme to defraud the United States and evade taxes on more than $350 million in income. A 30-count indictment against them was unsealed today in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia after Edelman was arrested in Ibiza, Spain.
Prosecutors allege that until approximately 2015, Edelman did not file any U.S. individual tax returns or pay any tax on money he made from Mina/Red Star. In 2015, he allegedly filed false back tax returns for 2007 to 2014, claiming that his business interests, income, and assets belonged to Le Dain during that period.
As a result of the investigation, Edelman and Le Dain are charged with conspiring to defraud the United States and 15 counts of tax evasion. Edelman is also charged with two counts of making false statements to the United States and 12 counts of willfully violating his foreign bank account reporting obligations as part of a pattern of unlawful activity.
That same year, a subcommittee of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform held public hearings focused on the Department of Defense’s principal fuel contracting arm, which had, since 2002, awarded Mina and Red Star Enterprises contracts worth $2 billion for fuel at Manas Transit Center in Kyrgyzstan, a major U.S. refueling hub and waystation for U.S. troops going to Afghanistan.
