Three central Illinois gas station owners are accused of more than $4 million in tax fraud.
Attorney General Kwame Raoul said Roger Multani, 29, of Peoria; and brothers Surinder Singh, 34, and Jitender Singh, 33, both of Indianapolis, are charged in Peoria County and Sangamon County circuit court with multiple counts of theft, fraud, and tax evasion.
Raoul said the trio under reported more than $50 million worth of sales from 2019 through 2022.
The Illinois Department of Revenue led the investigation.
The men own seven gas stations in Peoria, as well as five others in Illinois. The Peoria stations were raided by authorities last August.
Multani and the Singh brothers are due back in Peoria County court on Oct. 26.
