BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Tax fraud charges against the owner of several Western New York Ace Hardware stores have been dismissed after a more than six month long investigation revealed she did not owe the state money.
Gail Villani owns seven Gui's Lumber locations across Western New York, including one in Niagara Falls. Last September, Villani was charged with tax fraud. She was accused of owing the state $589,000 in state sales tax revenue over a four year period from 2005-2009.
Wednesday's incident is not the first time that an horrific crash has claimed the life of a member of the Villani family.
In July 1978, Villani's grandmother, Lorraine, was killed when she was flung from a boat that was traveling along the Niagara River at 3am. Kurt M. and his wife, Gail Villani, were also on board at the time but were unharmed.
The boat struck a bridge while Lorraine Villani was at the helm. The family later successfully sued the company that built the bridge, after it was found to not have been properly illuminated, for $120,000 in 1984.
Online records show that the Villani family owns a range of properties in the Grand Island-area.

This is all about fighting fire with fire. His lfe ashe knows it is on the line as they can put him in the klink for years. Nothing here to pussyfoot about.
True, false or indifferent whether he is innocent or guilty this is a fixed train game and he needs to step up like an organizaed crime boss. I dont even care for him just sayin what he has to do.
Mob guys beat the raps all the time. Same with drug lords. Sorry pal but hes in the same league as they corralled and penned him in.
is the implication that new York state itself contracted a hit on the couple though?
