NY: ‘Terrorist’-repping lawyer indicted for wire fraud, millions in unreported income

via ‘Terrorist’-repping lawyer indicted over $3M in income | New York Post.

A terror-loving top attorney whose clientele has included Osama bin Laden’s son-in-law and jihadist loving Lynne Stewart was indicted Thursday for failing to report more than $3 million in income.

Stanley Cohen was charged in a Manhattan federal court indictment with wire fraud and failing to file income taxes for 2005 to 2010 and faces up to 20 years in prison. He currently has similar tax changes pending in federal court in Syracuse.

Cohen could not be reached for comment but has previously claimed the feds are on a “witch hunt” to get him.

“This is the culmination of at least five years of harassing me, of seeking to silence me,” he told The Associated Press last year after being busted on the federal tax charges in Syracuse.

Cohen represented Stewart, who was convicted in 2005 of letting one of her clients, blind Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, communicate with a man who relayed messages to senior members of an Egyptian-based terrorist organization.

His current clients include bin Laden’s son-in-law Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, who is facing terror charges of conspiring to kill Americans.
