Here&#039;s the real version.<\/p>\n<p>Readers might be interested in the details of a tax evasion case proceeding in the Philippines, where Jeane Catherine Napoles <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abs-cbnnews.com\/nation\/07\/08\/15\/jeane-napoles-refuses-enter-plea-tax-evasion-case\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">declined to enter a plea<\/a> at her arraignment on June 8. She is the daughter of alleged scammer Janet Napoles, who allegedly funneled billions of Philippine pesos to herself via bogus NGOs and corrupt government dealings.<\/p>\n<p>The Philippine government alleges that the younger Napoles evaded income taxes amounting to 17.4 million pesos, approximately $385,000. With penalties and interest, the amount the government is seeking has increased to 32 million pesos, approximately $700,000. When Napoles refused to enter a plea, the presiding judge entered a not guilty plea on her behalf.<\/p>\n<p>Following the arraignment, Napoles&#8217; attorney said his client was unemployed and therefore not responsible for the payment of income tax under Philippine law. The case has garnered public scrutiny because Napoles lived a lavish and public lifestyle both before and after allegations that her mother stole public funds and made illegal deals with public officials. The younger Napoles allegedly paid 54.73 million pesos, $1,280,000, for a condominium at the Ritz Carlton in Los Angeles in July 2011.<\/p>\n<p>She was previously charged with failure to file tax returns for the years 2011 and 2012 and declined to enter a plea in that case as well. The two cases have been consolidated and are pending before the Court of Tax Appeals, 3rd Division, in the Philippines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#039;s the version of tax resolution the late-night commercials sell you.
