Port Charlotte roofing firm owner pleads guilty to tax evasion

A Sarasota woman has pleaded guilty to attempting to avoid paying federal income tax on more than $1 million in earnings from her Port Charlotte roofing business. 

Olga Dedovets pleaded guilty April 5 to one count of making a false statement in a 2017 tax return, the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Middle District of Florida in Tampa says in a news release.

Dedovets co-owned and helped to operate Suncastle Roofing in Charlotte County, court records show.
