MIAMI – An agent for several of the most prominent telenovela writers throughout Latin America pleaded guilty Wednesday in federal court to filing a false income tax return.
Miguel Rosenfeld entered a guilty plea in federal court in Miami.
U.S. attorneys said Rosenfeld substantially underreported his income to the Internal Revenue Service in 2007.
According to court documents, Rosenfeld reported a total of income of about $1.032 million on his tax return -- almost $218,000 shy of his actual earnings.
Rosenfeld is scheduled to be sentenced in February. He faces up to three years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
