A man is charged in a tax fraud scheme that generated more than $19 million in fraudulent refunds, allegedly seeking more than $350 million in total from the federal government.

The indictment says the case involved filing false tax returns, attempting fraudulent bank transactions and recruiting others to submit similar filings.

Caesar Munir Wilson is accused of filing and conspiring to file fraudulent tax returns seeking large refunds from the Internal Revenue Service. Federal court records show he made an initial appearance in U.S. District Court and was released under conditions on a bond while the case proceeds.

According to the indictment, Wilson personally filed tax returns requesting more than $90 million in refunds and helped others file additional returns requesting more than $210 million. Prosecutors allege the total fraudulent claims exceeded $350 million and resulted in the U.S. Treasury paying out more than $19 million before investigators intervened.
