Last Tuesday, a federal grand jury in Atlanta indicted the Chrisleys on multiple counts of conspiracy, bank fraud, wire fraud, and tax evasion.
U.S. Attorney Byung J. "BJay" Pak said the 12-count indictment was issued Tuesday against the "Chrisley Knows Best" stars. Pak said from at least 2007 to around 2012, the couple "conspired to defraud numerous banks" by giving the banks false information and faked bank statements while applying for loans.
The show on the USA network has followed the Chrisleys' tight-knit family for seven seasons. The family moved to the Nashville area a few years ago, but the criminal charges stem from when they lived in Atlanta's northern suburbs.
Pak said that the Chrisleys and their Roswell, Georgia-based accountant Peter Tarantino allegedly tried to obstruct the efforts of the IRS to examine their taxes by "hiding income, lying to third parties about their tax returns, and – in Tarantino's case – lying to FBI and IRS-CI Special Agents."
The couple pleaded not guilty to tax evasion and other federal charges.
The Chrisleys deny any wrongdoing.
