A Jersey Shore man was sent to federal prison for 19 months for dodging nearly $1 million in taxes at his Manhattan construction company.
Bilal Salaj, 55, of the Morganville section of Marlboro, will have to serve out nearly the entire term because there’s no parole in the federal prison system.
Salaj admitted in U.S. District Court in Manhattan last October that he avoided the payroll and personal income taxes for five years, in part, by putting the company in an associate’s name and paying workers under the table.
The cash came from $3.2 million in business checks that should’ve gone into the company account but instead were converted by the associate at check-cashing businesses in Manhattan, said Audrey Strauss, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.
