Ramadan Attorneys Dispute Terrorism Link, To Fight Murder-For-Hire Charges

OCEAN CITY — Less than a week after an Ocean City man was indicted in an murder-for-hire plot, his lawyers this week responded, saying there is no strong evidence to support the latest charges and further denying any connection to terrorism links.

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.

Last Thursday, New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman and NYPD Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly announced the indictment of Basel Ramadan and Yousseff Odeh, one of his alleged distributors and a trusted lieutenant, on new charges they conspired from behind bars to murder witnesses they believed were cooperating with law enforcement in the massive cigarette smuggling case against them.

Obama will make sure he gets released... said...

Does Obama know about one of his MUSLIM buddies here being charged by the Old White Man System?

All of these most recent charges were dropped today. It seems the DA made a mistake.

This man has ties to the NY/NJ mob or more correctly what is left of them. There is one person who lives in our area that was raised by some serious old time mobsters and has the famly photos to prove it. You would never know it to look at him by his age, what he drives, and how he dresses and what he used to do for a living, but the man is connected and loaded. This person knows a lot, but keeps it to himself for fear of his family's and friend's safety and security. He tells me that there are hundreds of wanna-bees like Ramadon who are only making a fast $$buck$$ with no real ties to anything but money. These are the scary ones that have no loyalty but to the DOLLAR and will do ANYTHING for it. My friend needs to either write a book or use his military and cop skills forcefuly takover what is left of the mob.
