Former Station Casinos manager sentenced to prison for under-the-table payments

A former Las Vegas casino company employee was sentenced to 366 days in federal prison Thursday after his conviction in a tax evasion scheme.

Anthony M. Cirulli, 75, who pleaded guilty in September to one count of tax evasion, also was placed on three years of supervised release after prison and ordered to pay the IRS $351,039 in restitution.

Between 2005 and 2008, Cirulli hid hundreds of thousands of dollars he received under the table while reviewing printing contracts as a production manager in the corporate advertising department of Station Casinos, according to authorities.

For the 2007 tax year, Cirulli willfully filed a false tax return, which omitted the income, his plea agreement states. He admitted hiding the money in two “nominee” bank accounts that conducted no business activity.
