Berthoud family indicted in unemployment, tax fraud scheme

A grand jury had indicted Berthoud man and several of his family members on charges of unemployment insurance fraud and tax fraud. The Greeley Tribune reports Robert Tarin Jr. is accused of fraudulently obtaining more than $30,000 in unemployment benefits by providing false information to the Colorado Department of Labor during the COVID-19 pandemic. The indictment said Tarin Jr. falsely claimed he shut down his towing business and was furloughed from work. He failed to mention he also owns a fencing business. Prosecutors said bank records show neither the towing nor fencing businesses closed or suffered during the pandemic; he’s also accused of failing to report his unemployment earnings on his state income taxes. Tarin’s family members, who own a Mexican restaurant in Loveland, are also accused of falsely reporting business income.
