 Virginia man faces prison time for crimes involving $19.8 million worth of
cigarettes A Chesterfield man faces five years in prison and a
$250,000 fine for his role in a crime that involved $19.8 million worth of
cigarettes. Mohamed Seid Ahmed Mohamed, 56, pleaded guilty Wednesday to
conspiracy to commit wire fraud and to traffic in contraband cigarettes,
according to the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Mohamed used his role as owner of City Cigarettes in Richmond to buy 440,000
cartons of cigarettes from wholesale stores between 2011 and 2014 without paying
the applicable Virginia Retail Sales and Use Tax. He did so by claiming the
cigarettes would be resold at City Cigarettes, according to his plea agreement.
Instead, Mohamed and his co-conspirators sold most of the cigarettes to people
who they knew would take the cigarettes out of state to sell in the black market
- tax free. (Source
