$9.5M cigarette smuggling ring was run by two N.J. men, feds say
Two New Jersey residents have been accused of buying millions of dollars worth of cigarettes in Virginia and attempting to re-sell them in New Jersey and New York where taxes on tobacco products are much higher, according to a published report.
Laila Alayat, a 37-year-old Jordanian national, was arrested last month at John F. Kennedy International Airport as she was preparing to board a flight to Jordan. Alayat had previously been told any attempt to leave the country would be seen as an attempt to flee prosecution, authorities said.
