Can they be prosecuted under the Income Tax Act? Or is there a different law applicable? And what's the role of the courts in all this?

Tax Evasion Scandal Unfolds. To clarify, tax evasion refers to the intentional and deliberate act of hiding or under-reporting income to avoid paying taxes, which is a punishable offense. This is different from tax avoidance, which involves using legitimate means to minimize tax liability. The difference lies in intent - tax avoidance is lawful, while tax evasion is not. To determine the specifics of this scandal, we need more information on the actions taken by the accused and the relevant laws that have been breached.
