"Jersey Shore" cast Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino has delayed the trial for his tax evasion and fraud cases, and continues to be out on a $250,000 bail.
According to a report from Northjersey.com, the reality star and his brother, Marc Sorrentino, were scheduled to appear in court on December 2 for their numerous tax-related cases.
However, the camp of "Jersey Shore" cast Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino were able to move the trial to March of next year. The request was granted by the U.S. Attorney's Office after U.S. District Judge Susan Wigenton assessed the "voluminous" records that needed ample time to be reviewed and investigated.
The Sorrentino brothers are out on $250,000 bail.
A report from The Wall Street Journal detailed how "Jersey Shore" cast member Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and his brother Marc Sorrentino pleaded not guilty to charges claiming that they filed false U.S. tax returns from 2010 to 2012.
The two are being accused of receiving $8.9 million worth of income and did not file and pay for the corresponding taxes.
The reality star and his brother are also being questioned for allegedly declaring as business expenses several expensive clothes and cars.
Furthermore, the two are being accused of channelling company money into their personal accounts, said the report from The Wall Street Journal.
An additional count was also given to "Jersey Shore" cast member Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino after he was supposedly unable to file a personal tax return in 2011.
Two companies, namely MPS Entertainment LLC and Situation Nation Inc., are being operated by the Sorrentino brothers. The two organizations were believed to have received the income in question.
Marc Sorrentino also manages the career of the "Jersey Shore" star.
The special agent in charge of the investigation, Jonathan D. Larsen, stated: "Rather than living in reality and reporting their true income, Michael Sorrentino and his brother Marc created the illusion that they earned less income by filing false and fraudulent tax returns."
The arraignment for the Sorrentino brothers will reportedly be on October 6. If found guilty, the two could possibly be imprisoned for three years and fined $250,000 for each count related to the conspiracy and false tax return charges.
The Wall Street Journal also stated that an additional one-year imprisonment and $100,000 fine will be given to "Jersey Shore" cast member Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino for the 2011 tax return offense.
