Prosecutors: NJ Doctor Diverted Millions In Earnings

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Federal prosecutors say a northern New Jersey plastic surgeon fraudulently diverted millions in corporate earnings for his personal use, costing the United States nearly $3 million in tax revenue.

David Evdokimow, a 54-year-old Harding Township resident whose practice is in Basking Ridge, faces one count of conspiracy, four counts of personal income tax evasion and three counts of corporate tax evasion. The doctor, who maintains his innocence, would face a lengthy prison term if convicted on all counts.

Prosecutors say Evdokimow conducted his practice through a corporate entity known as De'Omilia Plastic Surgery P.C.

They claim he paid his personal expenses directly from De'Omilia's corporate bank accounts while falsely attributing these expenses to De'Omilia's corporate operations.
