SDNY COURTHOUSE, Nov 19 – The Kingdom of Belgium has filed lawsuit against what it says are tax fraudsters Genesha Industries Pension Plan and FGC Securities.   

The complaint and subpoena request, docketed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York after hours on July 27 and found immediately by Inner City Press which covers SDNY, also names Jerome L'Hote, Adam LaRosa, Stephen Wheeler. 

 It says "the scheme took advantage of a tax refund arrangement between Belgium and the US. Under Belgium law, Belgian companies are required to withhold a 25% tax on dividends paid to their shareholders... Defendants LaRosa and L'Hote used a scheme to mislead [Belgium] into paying out dividend tax refunds that were not owed."  

 They say it is related to a previously filed case against Xiphias LLC Pension Fund - and Stephen Wheeler.

This case is Kingdom of Belgium v. Ganesha Industries Pension Plan, et al., 21-cv-6407 (Unassigned)
