Over a year after coming away unscathed from the Philadelphia Traffic Court ticket-fixing case, Judge Michael Sullivan is now being targeted by federal prosecutors for paying employees of his tavern under the table.
In a criminal information released Tuesday by the U.S. Attorney's Office, Sullivan was charged with one count of failing to report and pay payroll taxes for employees of the Fireside Tavern, a South Philadelphia bar he co-owned. This new charge represents a second chance for prosecutors to land a conviction against Sullivan after he was exonerated of charges related to ticket-fixing in federal court.
If convicted, Sullivan faces a maximum sentence of one year in prison, one year of supervised release, and a $25,000 fine, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
