The former husband of American reality television star Porsha Williams, Simon Guobadia, is facing federal tax fraud charges in the United States over allegations that he deliberately understated his taxable income, while his petroleum company recorded millions of dollars in sales.
Key Highlights
- Simon Guobadia indicted in Georgia on two counts of aiding false federal tax returns.
- Prosecutors allege he declared zero taxable income while Simcol Petroleum recorded over $45m in sales.
- He allegedly reported $58,231 in income as the company generated nearly $31m.
- An arrest warrant has reportedly been issued; his custody status is unclear.
- Guobadia has not been convicted of the charges.
Guobadia was reportedly indicted by federal prosecutors in Georgia on Tuesday on two counts of allegedly assisting in the preparation and filing of false federal tax returns.
What The Indictment Alleges
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, prosecutors allege that Guobadia provided misleading income figures in tax filings for 2021, despite knowing that his actual earnings were substantially higher.
In one of the alleged offences, prosecutors claim he declared zero taxable income in March 2021, even though his company, Simcol Petroleum Limited, reportedly recorded more than $45 million in gross sales during the same period.
The indictment further alleges that in July 2021, Guobadia reported taxable income of just $58,231, while the company generated nearly $31 million in gross sales.
Federal prosecutors contend that he knew the figures declared in the tax returns did not accurately reflect his taxable income and the company’s financial activities.
The allegations are contained in the indictment, and Guobadia has not been convicted of the charges.
Court records reportedly show that an arrest warrant has also been issued against him, although it remains unclear whether he has been taken into custody.
