The longtime executive director of the largest arts
center in Jersey City, Mana Contemporary, has been indicted on charges of tax
fraud.
The charges against Eugene
LeMay are not related to the arts center, but to a New York-based moving
and storage company that LeMay was president of.
According to federal prosecutors, LeMay cheated the
government out of nearly $8 million in payroll taxes by setting up sham
companies.
He is also charged with evading personal income
taxes.
News 12 asked Mana Contemporary for
comment on LeMay's status with the organization but has not heard back.
