Seven people and three businesses indicted in connection to a scheme to fraudulently claim lottery prizes, launder the winnings and help others avoid debts were arraigned yesterday in Superior Court:
in October for three Lottery retailers and 12 people, including store owners, employees and ticket-cashers, who Attorney General Maura Healey's office alleged to have been involved from April 2020 through May 2021 in a"ten-percenting" scheme in which they claimed the prizes associated with winning Lottery tickets instead of the true winners in exchange for 10 to 20 percent of the winnings.
Paritosh Patel, John Heller, Karl Voelker and Nelson Tejada were arraigned Tuesday on charges of conspiracy to evade taxes, as were the three businesses indicted in October — Underground Express on Winter Place in Boston, Richdale on Lowell Road in North Reading, and NT Lucky Variety on Arlington Street in Chelsea. Peter Marano, a legitimate Lottery winner, was arraigned on a charge of tax evasion in connection to having someone else claim his prize.
