Eddie Hasan, key political player, admits tax fraud
This just in: Eddie Hasan, a well-known figure in St. Louis politics, plead guilty in federal court today for filing a false tax report.
He admitted not paying taxes on money he earned from a consulting contract with St. Louis Public Schools, as well as other income.
The charges, publicly at least, were unexpected: There were no reports that Hasan was under investigation.
Hasan runs MoKan, which helps construction contractors with minority contracts. He is also the publisher of the St. Louis Argus newspaper and father of former State Rep. Yaphett El-Amin, whose husband, T.D. El-Amin, currently holds her old seat.
