From NE PA.
Gregory Malia, the former Northeastern Pennsylvania Episcopal vicar dubbed "the partying priest" by a New York tabloid, owes the Internal Revenue Service $358,576 in back taxes, according to a court filing Thursday.
Malia, 46, formerly of Laflin, failed to pay taxes in 2006, 2007 and 2008 on income derived from self-employment or through his interest in a small business, according to the filing in Luzerne County Court.
Attorney Edward Patrick Heffron, who represents Malia in another matter, did not return a telephone message. Malia, who lives on Wall Street in New York City, could not be reached for comment.
According to the filing, a federal tax lien, Malia owes $130,367 in personal income taxes for 2006, $39,997 for 2007 and $188,211 for 2008.
The document did not specify Malia's self-employment or small business interest. State records indicate Malia remains the sole officer of New Life Home Care Inc., a pharmacy he founded in Pittston a decade ago for hemophilia patients.
Investigators from the state Attorney General's office raided the offices of New Life Home Care in August 2009 as part of what a spokesman for the office called an "ongoing insurance fraud investigation." No charges were filed, but Malia and the company have faced several lawsuits alleging overbilling and misappropriation of funds.
