The Kalamazoo Gazette is reporting that Internal Revenue Service agents raided the corporate office of Torco Race Fuels founder Evan Knoll on Thursday.

The newspaper reported Steven Moore, a spokesman for the criminal investigations division of the IRS, said the federal agents executed a search warrant at Knoll’s business office in downtown Decatur, Michigan. 

As many as 20 federal agents and Van Buren County Sheriff deputies took part in the operation which is reported to include a second unnamed location in Decatur.

Van Buren County Undersheriff Paul Edwards was contacted by the IRS in order to provide what the Kalamazoo Gazette reported as a “uniformed presence”.

 
CompetitionPlus.com has spoken to Knoll's attorney Lawrence Wilson, who described the IRS "visit" as a blessing and alleges the company's current financial situation on embezzlement. More information will be published shortly.

CompetitionPlus.com also contacted former Torco C.F.O. Latrell Preston for comment but declined until he could speak with his attorney.
