A federal grand jury sitting in Greenbelt, Maryland, returned an indictment, which was unseal, charging a married couple with conspiracy to defraud the United States and four counts of filing false tax returns, announced the Justice Department’s Tax Division. According to the indictment, Robert M. Underwood and Deborah J. Underwood, operated a used automobile parts and scrap metal business in Clinton, Maryland from 2009 through 2012 under the names “B Underwood’s Used Auto Parts” and “B Underwood Used Auto Parts, LLC.” The business allegedly purchased used and salvage cars, stripped them for parts to resell, and sold the remains to a Baltimore-based scrap yard.
