( CNN ) -- Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was indicted Wednesday on 19 counts of federal fraud and tax charges , according to the U.S. attorney 's office in the Eastern District of Michigan . The charges against him include 10 counts of mail fraud , three counts of wire fraud , five counts of filing a false tax return and one count of tax evasion , according to U.S. District Court spokesman Rod Hanson . If he is convicted , each fraud count would carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a fine of $ 250,000 , while each tax count would carry a maximum sentence of up to five years in prison and a fine of $ 250,000 , the U.S. attorney 's office said . The charges stem from an alleged scheme in which Kilpatrick used donations to his Kilpatrick Civic Fund -- a tax-exempt social welfare organization -- to pay for such personal expenses as yoga and golf lessons , and campaign expenses in his 2001 and 2005 bids for mayor , according to the indictment . Kilpatrick had claimed the fund would go toward community services and voter registration information , the indictment says . Kilpatrick , 40 , is currently serving five years in prison for violating probation in a 2008 case against him . That case involved two felony counts of obstruction of justice stemming from Kilpatrick 's efforts to cover up an extramarital affair . He also pleaded no contest to charges of assaulting a police officer attempting to serve a subpoena on a Kilpatrick friend in the case .
Former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick could be sentenced to 20 more years in prison . The former mayor was convicted of 18 felony counts including racketeering and extortion related to his alleged role as a political consultant for the City of Detroit. He is already serving a five-year prison term after violating probation .
