Dennis Condron, a 75-year-old resident of Cheshire and owner of D Condron Construction, has been charged with four counts of tax fraud. According to court documents, over a three-year period, Condron allegedly cashed more than half a million dollars in customer checks and diverted the funds to his personal accounts without reporting them as business income.
Prosecutors allege that Condron failed to inform his tax preparer about these additional funds, leading to significant underreporting of his company’s gross receipts. As a result, he is accused of retaining hundreds of thousands of dollars that should have been paid in federal and state income taxes.
Condron has agreed to plead guilty to the charges. A plea hearing date has not yet been set by the court.
Acting United States Attorney Leah B. Foley commented on the case alongside Thomas Demeo, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation for the Boston Field Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Caroline Merck from the Springfield Office is handling prosecution duties.
“The details contained in the charging document are allegations. The defendant is presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in the court of law.”
