The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that two owners of the well-known cheesesteak and sandwich shop Tony Luke’s pleaded guilty Monday to conspiring to defraud the U.S. government.
The New Jersey residents told a federal judge that they kept two sets of books to hide cash from sales at their south Philadelphia shop and acknowledged paying part of workers’ salaries under the table to evade payroll taxes, the newspaper reported.
The statement said the defendants “have fully cooperated with the government’s investigation since it began and look forward to putting this matter behind them.” Tony Luke’s, they said, “will continue to serve its faithful clientele and provide gainful employment for its loyal employees and their families.”
