They are accused of overstating sales of cigarettes for 2005 and understating sales for 2006.
Court documents allege the fictitious sales were done to allow the distributors to avoid having to pay an excise tax increase of up to $3 a carton that went into effect after September 1, 2005.
The charges against John June Junior and Larry Philips include tax evasion and conspiracy to commit obtaining property by false pretenses.
