A 61-year-old seafood business owner was charged today in federal court with bribing an IRS agent. Vinh Q. Tran, of Cutoff, is accused of paying about USD 6,000 in cash and providing “other things of value” to the agent over the past four years to influence the agent's audit of his seafood distributing business, according to the bill of information.
That bill of information for bribery of a public official provides no further details on the nature of the offense.
