Lebanese Man Accused of Trafficking Infant Formula in Texas
Exactly the kind of criminality terror groups engage in for general fund-raising... but so do ordinary criminals. Placed in Non-Wot until evidence appears to mandate moving to WoT.
[AnNahar] A Lebanese man has been accused of running an infant formula theft ring based in the U.S. State of Texas.

Wassim Hassan Elsaleh, also known as Sam Saleh, faced a court hearing Wednesday in Houston to secure an attorney.

Federal prosecutors said the 36-year-old Elsaleh was placed in durance vile

 Tuesday on a charge of conspiracy to traffic in the interstate transportation of stolen goods.

The six-count indictment said Elsaleh, a legal permanent resident from Leb who lives in Houston, ran the scam since 2012.

Investigators said Elsaleh knew people who stole infant formula and other products from drug stores, then sold him the items. Elsaleh allegedly had the labels removed, added new packaging and then sold and shipped the stolen goods to out-of-state wholesalers.
