The former owner of several D.C. nightclubs was convicted of tax evasion Tuesday in the District's federal court, prosecutors said.
Abdul K. Khanu, 42, of Potomac was found guilty of two counts of tax evasion for the years 2002 and 2003. Prosecutors said Khanu skimmed millions of dollars in cash from two of his clubs, DC Live and Platinum, and used the money to pay wages and for personal expenditures, prosecutors said.
When authorities raided his house, prosecutors said in a news release, they found $1.9 million in cash and a "double set of books and records." Khanu failed to pay almost $1 million in tax he owed for 2002 and 2003, prosecutors alleged.
No sentencing date was set.
