The owners of a local donut chain have been indicted on 16 counts of tax fraud. Their son is also implicated in the scheme.
John, Helen and Dimitrios Zourdos are accused of concealing more than $1 million from the IRS. The family owns Dippin Donuts, which has locations in Rome and New Hartford.
Investigators say they deposited money into their personal bank accounts instead of their business account from 2013 to 2017. They're also accused of giving incomplete information to their accountant, leading to false tax returns.
