Federal prosecutors want a California judge to reject a petition aiming to block the Internal Revenue Service from demanding Apple turn over account records linked to Cristian Caruso. He holds Swiss and Italian citizenship and is under investigation for possible Swiss tax liabilities.
Caruso filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California to stop the summons. The IRS is seeking records from Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino. They include subscriber names and addresses, session times, connection records, payment methods, and IP addresses spanning 2016 to 2023.
