| | Last week, after a two-month trial during which Ogilvie proved that Accardo's beer-selling sinecure was merely a front for his gambling and labor-racketeering interests, a federal court jury convicted him on three counts of tax evasion. | | | Tough Tony Accardo, the man who never went to jail, faces a sentence of up to nine years in prison and $15,000 in fines. | | | For a touch of realism, Tony even deducted $3,994 in depreciation and gas-and-oil expenses for his little red sports car, a Mercedes-Benz SL 300, on his tax returns as business expenses. |
