Ex-Mayor Barry Gets Probation in Tax Case
Former District of Columbia Mayor Marion Barry was sentenced to three years’ probation in connection with charges that he failed to file federal or local tax returns for 2000.
Barry, 70, pleaded guilty in October under an agreement with federal prosecutors that required him to acknowledge his failure to file returns.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Deborah A. Robinson declined to fine Barry, noting that the outstanding taxes he had agreed to pay were substantial.
Barry owes $195,000 in federal taxes and $54,000 plus penalties and interest in District of Columbia taxes.
