A federal grand jury indicted Gustavo Rojano Salazar, Gabriel Rojano Salazar and Andres Huerta Rendon last week. Investigators allege they began filing fraudulent tax returns in January 2019, using identification documents from Mexico to obtain taxpayer identification numbers. The three were arraigned Wednesday on charges including mail fraud, wire fraud and conspiracy to launder money. Two also face immigration charges.
