Waterpipe tobacco and 400,000 cigarettes seized in Edmonton 6
Over 1,600 kg of contraband waterpipe tobacco (shisha) and more than 400,000 contraband cigarettes — with a potential value of over $600,000 in lost tax revenue to the province — have been seized in Edmonton by the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission. The contraband products were found as a result of search warrants on two Edmonton area locations and vehicles this past March. Imad Assi and Ahmed Morsy Elshebiny have been charged with several violations, including criminal code charges for fraud over $5,000 as well as charges under the provincial Tobacco Tax Act for possession of over 1,000 grams of tobacco, and unlawful sale of tobacco products. Both are scheduled to appear in Edmonton Provincial Court on May 15.
