Breaking News: Ramadan Indicted On Murder-For-Hire Charges; Authorities Say He Orchestrated Plot From Prison

OCEAN CITY — One of two Ocean City residents indicted by a New York grand jury in May for allegedly being the ringleader of a vast multi-million dollar cigarette smuggling and money laundering operation was indicted again Thursday in New York after a foiled murder-for-hire plot was uncovered.

In mid-May, federal officials concluded an investigation into a multi-million dollar cigarette smuggling operation with raids on two locations in and around the resort area including the West Ocean City homes of local residents and business owners Basel Ramadan, 42, who has been called the “ringleader” of the operation, and Samer Ramadan, 40, who is being called the operation’s “enterprise treasurer.” Also indicted were 14 other alleged co-conspirators, from transporters to distributors to resellers, who were rounded up at locations all over the mid-Atlantic region on the same day in May.

He full well knew all of his communications were recorded. I find it hard to believe he hire someone on the phone much less speak to a stranger.

Desperation drives people to do what they might otherwise, not do. How else could he achieved his goal of dead witnesses?

This is todays Ocean City. Corruption widespread. Just watch a council meeting. The president refusing to admit he ousted a citizen, and a city manager that lies through his teeth on contract issues.

Throwing that lady out of the meeting for clapping was pretty lame 4:18. I've watched a few of their meetings online and I remember not so long ago some group booed this same lady while she was speaking and not one of this so suddenly concerned about decorum group said a word.

Cheap tobacco products would help get rid of these problems.

They were just trying to make a living--let them come and pay no taxes! Let them support terrorists! Look what our country allows in--and our own are trying to open a business, but they get punished with taxes and regulation...the people causing the trouble pay no taxes for years.

I agree 100% with the corruption comment! I used to love OC, it's sad to see the change. I read about the council meeting, asked the source, and yes sir, it was true. Recor, look at his background corrupt is a compliment.

The local dentist that went to prison for a murder for hire? The one that nobody knows what he did years ago?
