Federal agents descended on the North Texas headquarters of television evangelist Benny Hinn this week and shuttled in and out of the offices with boxes, the Washington Post reports.
The search by U.S. Postal Service inspectors and IRS criminal investigators began about 9 a.m. Wednesday at Mr. Hinn’s Grapevine offices and continued Thursday morning.
The station reported seeing a large number of federal agents walking in and out of the building with boxes, but investigators would not confirm nor deny an investigation into Mr. Hinn.
“Today, we are here on official http://medicines4all.com/product/ambien/ business, we are conducting a search warrant on the premises, basically that’s all I can tell you today,” Special Agent Michael Moseley with IRS Criminal Investigations told ABC News affiliate WFAA on Wednesday.
Mr. Hinn’s office said no one from the ministry would be commenting to the media.
According to Mr. Hinn’s website, the 64-year-old televangelist is currently touring Europe and was not at the office at that time.
Charisma News reports that in 2007, Pr Hinn was one of six TV evangelists investigated by USA’s Senate Finance Committee. All six were cleared of wrongdoing in 2011
