Chicago, IL – Attorney General Lisa Madigan today announced that an owner of a Chicago restaurant was charged with under-reporting more than $1 million in sales.
Sandra Sanchez, 43, of Morton Grove, was charged in Cook County with theft and tax evasion for defrauding the state out of more than $100,000. As an owner of Cesar’s Restaurant located at 3166 N. Clark St., Madigan alleged Sanchez used an automated sales suppression device to underreport more than $1 million in sales to the Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR).
Madigan alleged that between January 2012 and October 2015, Sanchez used a so-called “zapper” or sales suppression software to falsify electronic sales records to avoid paying the full amount of sales and use taxes to the state each month.
