WICHITA – A man from Liberal has pleaded guilty to tax evasion, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said today.

52-year-old Sule Braimah pleaded guilty to one count of tax evasion. In his plea, he admitted that in April 2008 he filed a joint tax return falsely reporting that in 2007 he and his wife had a taxable income of $631,166. In fact, he failed to report another $185,229 in income.

Sentencing is set for Jan. 28. He faces a maximum penalty of five years in federal prison, a $250,000 fine and restitution of $188,097, which includes 2008 and other tax years.
