(AP) — Reality TV star Richard Hatch violated the terms of his supervised release by failing to refile his tax returns, a judge ruled Monday, but he said he had- n’t decided whether to put the ‘‘Survivor’’ winner back behind bars. He delayed sentencing until he could receive additional argu- ments. Hatch, who was convict- ed in 2006 of failing to pay taxes on the $1 million prize he won on the debut season of the CBS reality series, LINDA M.

Italy, Spain and Portugal are each scheduled to sell bonds this week. If the sales go poorly it could further weaken confidence in Europe’s financial system. ‘‘Italy and Spain are the big wildcards,’’ said Paul Zemsky, the head of asset allocation at ING Invest- ment Management. ‘‘If they got into trouble there’s not enough money to bail them out.’’ No major economic reports came out Monday. On Friday, the Labor Department said that employers added fewer jobs in December than analysts expected. That report spent more than three years in federal prison and was then placed on three years of supervised release. He was released in 2009 and has been living in Newport. Federal authorities accuse him of violating the conditions of his release by failing to file amended tax returns for the years 2000 and 2001, as required by a judge at the time of his sen- tencing. ‘‘I don’t think the ques- tion of a violation in itself is really in any doubt,’’ U.S. District Judge William Crafter’s Boutique M-TH 11-5 • Fri 11-8 • Sat 11-3 COME & SHOP 50 CRAFTERS IN 1 SHOP!

Oil companies fell after a pipeline in Alaska was shut down because of a leak. Exxon Mobil Corp. fell 0.6 percent and Chevron Corp. gave up 1 percent. Bond prices rose slightly, pushing their yields slightly lower. The yield on the 10- year Treasury note fell to 3.29 percent from 3.33 per- cent late Friday. The yield is used to set interest rates on many kinds of loans includ- ing mortgages. Rising shares outnum- bered falling shares by a slight margin on the New York Stock Exchange. Con- solidated volume was 4.1 billion shares. ‘Survivor’ winner broke terms of release Smith said, adding that Hatch appears to have a track record of mocking the court system and alleging unfair persecution. He said he could put Hatch back behind bars for the remaining two years of his supervised release if he finds that Hatch willfully violated the terms of his freedom, as prosecutors allege. The judge ordered prosecutors and Hatch’s lawyer to file new paper- work and said Hatch would be sentenced later. The Internal Revenue Service says that as of last February, Hatch owed about $1.7 million in taxes for 2000 and 2001 — including interest and penalties. But Hatch has appealed that finding to the U.S. Tax Court, and his amended tax returns cannot be filed until after his appeal is conclud- ed, argued Hatch’s federal public defender, Mary McElroy.
