PHILADELPHIA (AP) – The founder of an iconic Philadelphia cheesesteak restaurant and one of his sons have been indicted on federal tax evasion and fraud charges for allegedly hiding nearly $8 million in sales over the course of a decade. A spokesperson for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania U.S. Attorney’s office announced the charges Friday against 82-year-old Anthony Lucidonio Sr, and his son, 54-year-old Nicholas Lucidonio. They’re two owners of the well-known cheesesteak and sandwich shop Tony Luke’s. The indictment alleges the pair kept two sets of books to try to defraud the Internal Revenue Service. Court documents didn’t yet show attorneys for the pair.
