Alleged bogus art dealer charged with tax evasion

A Long Island art dealer accused of selling knock-off paintings was charged Tuesday by federal prosecutors for dodging taxes on the deals.

Glafira Rosales, 56, was in federal court on charges of evading taxes on $12.5 million of income from selling allegedly bogus art to two Manhattan galleries between 2006 and 2008.

Rosales is accused of selling about a dozen pieces, several of which were phony. Her plea was not available at press time.
