Description

This case alleged a violation of RCW 42.17A.710 by failing to report spouse's income & assets on a Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report) covering 5/21/20 - 5/20/21; and income & assets, and spouse's income & assets on a Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report) for 1/1/21 - 1/7/22.

PDC staff reviewed the allegations and evidence submitted; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the responses provided by the Respondent; the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and other relevant information to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.

Based on the attached findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, the Respondent’s failure to disclose unemployment income and spousal reporting error on F-1 reports do not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation.

Pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), however, Mohamed Egal received a formal written warning concerning his failure to timely and accurately disclose income on his Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report). The formal written warning included staff’s expectation that Mohamed Egal timely file complete and accurate financial information on F-1 reports in future years. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.

Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).

-------

Shortly after the above case was resolved, the PDC received another complaint from the same Complainant, alleging additional violations of .710 by the Respondent (F-1 report content). The second case (136616) was resolved by amending the formal written warning letter to address the Respondent's failure to timely and accurately disclose business associations and ownership interest in a corporation on F-1 reports, as well as income (copy attached).
