ALBANY, NEW YORK: Noor Alfallah, the girlfriend of iconic actor Al Pacino, has recently captured the public's attention with the news that the couple is expecting a child. This revelation has sparked interest due to the significant age difference between the 83-year-old actor and the 29-year-old filmmaker, potentially making Pacino one of the oldest celebrities in history to embark on the fatherhood journey.

However, along with this joyous occasion, the spotlight has also brought to light the legal troubles of Noor Alfallah's father, Fallah Nasser Alfallah. The 29-year-old's father shares a history that involves pleading guilty to tax evasion and failing to report approximately $3 million of overseas income, which ultimately led to his bankruptcy filing.

A closer look at Fallah Nasser Alfallah's tax evasion case

Alfallah's legal issues emerged several years ago when he faced charges related to tax evasion and failure to disclose a significant amount of income earned overseas. The case attracted significant public interest due to the large sum of money involved, which led Alfallah to plead guilty to the charges. This undoubtedly had a profound impact on both his personal and financial circumstances.

The plea agreement filed in the case revealed that Alfallah, a naturalized United States citizen, resided in Dubai from 2008 to 2010 while working as an investment advisor for Bahrain-based Unicorn Investment Bank. During those years, Alfallah's salary and bonuses amounted to $1,512,557 in 2008, $830,691 in 2009, and $658,794 in 2010, he confessed. Despite earning more than $3 million during this three-year period and being advised by his tax preparer about his legal obligation to report overseas income to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Alfallah failed to file income tax returns with the IRS.

Fallah Nasser Alfallah's guilty plea

By pleading guilty, Alfallah admitted that he had intentionally sought to evade taxes on this income and had taken active measures to avoid paying taxes for those three years. As a consequence, the government incurred losses of $933,492, as per Justice.gov. In his guilty plea, Alfallah admitted to one count of tax evasion specifically related to unpaid taxes for the year 2009. The investigation into Alfallah's tax evasion was conducted by the IRS Criminal Investigation, which received a tip through the IRS Whistleblower Program. This program offers compensation to individuals who report cases of tax evasion, providing a financial incentive for people to "blow the whistle" on those who fail to fulfill their tax obligations.
