Fairfield man indicted for failing to pay over $2 million in employment taxes
( — A federal jury returned a 41-count indictment against Warren Soto Delfin, 54, of Fairfield, charging him with failure to pay more than $2 million in trust fund taxes to the Internal Revenue Service, according to U.S. Attorney Michele Beckwith.
Beckwith stated that, according to court documents, between January 2018 and December 2022, Felfin owned and operated five home health care businesses that made over $2 million in employment taxes. The tax liabilities stem from amounts Delfin withheld from his employer's paychecks.

Instead of Delfin paying the employees' withholdings to the IRS as required under the law, he retained them and used the money to purchase luxury items, including a Lamborghini, jewelry, and real estate, according to Beckwith.
According to officials, if Delfin is convicted, he will face a maximum statutory penalty of five years in prison and a $250,00 fine for each charged count, and any other sentence would be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
'The charges are only allegations; the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt,' officials said.
Authorities stated that this case is being handed over to the IRS Criminal Investigation and the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General.
