Derek and his estranged wife Kellie — who filed for divorce from the former Minneapolis police officer in June — have been charged with "multiple tax-related felonies," according to a press release from the Washington County District Attorney. The couple is accused of failing to file individual tax returns from 2016 to 2019, in addition to filing fraudulent returns from 2014 to 2019, the press release said. The Chauvins were allegedly aware "of their obligation to file state income tax returns due to their filings in previous years and from multiple correspondences sent in 2019 by the department regarding their missing 2016 individual income tax return," the press release stated. Chauvin's attorney did not immediately respond to PEOPLE' request for comment. Kellie did not have a criminal attorney listed but when reached by The Washington Post, her representative did not respond to a request for comment. George Floyd.

She is not seeking spousal support, saying in the filing that she can support herself with her work as a realtor, PEOPLE previously reported. Kellie's divorce attorney reportedly requested Wednesday that her divorce filing be sealed due to "constant harassment from the public," the Star-Tribune reported. Derek was charged in June with second-degree unintentional murder after he was captured on video pinning Floyd to the ground for nearly nine minutes despite the unarmed man's repeated cries of "I can't breathe." Derek and the three other officers present, Thomas Lane, Tou Thao, and J. Alexander Kueng, were fired from the Minneapolis police department before they were charged.
