Ramadan Brothers Plead Guilty, Await Sentencing This Month

WEST OCEAN CITY — Two local men, arrested last October for their roles in a vast cigarette smuggling and tax evasion conspiracy after a raid by federal officials at their West Ocean City home, pleaded guilty last week in a New York Supreme Court and now await sentencing later this month.

Last October, federal officials raided the West Ocean City home of Basel and Samir Ramadan for the second time in six years as part of a larger investigation into a vast cigarette smuggling and money-laundering investigation. During the raid, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Homeland Security Investigation (HSI) official, along with allied local law enforcement partners, searched the Ramadan’s West Ocean City home as part of Operation Sidestep, a months-long investigation into an untaxed cigarette smuggling, money-laundering and tax evasion scheme carried out by the two local men.

Last Thursday, both Basel and Samir Ramadan each pleaded guilty to a single conspiracy charge, the highest charge against each defendant. Sentencing has been set for Aug. 26 in King’s County Supreme Court in New York.

Muslim organized crime that has terrorist ties. Stole over $60million first arrest and hired hit man to kill witnesses, yet FBI let them free after serving very short time. Wonder what their smack on the wrist will be this time.

These two have committed insurance fraud and narcotics distribution among other things. If you were White or Black you would have been hammered. I am sure they are snitches or the FBI is as crooked as Trump says they are. Sad times in America.

Worked for a company for 30 years and they constantly employed tactics to RIP us off. Threatened to have me fired if I reported anything unusual about their businesses. My company finally told them that we're done with them. We'll go to court - that was the end of that. Supposedly the laundered cash was sent to Palestinian terrorist groups. They also were thrown out of Ledos at Food lion shopping center on Nanticoke Road.

"Two local men"

They are far from "local men."

Send those Muslims back to the country they came from.

I would hope any law enforcement that might remember the fake robbery where Mr "towdoctor" tied these two idiots up in the back room and made off with 50,000 in cash to split up with these two crooks consider furthering their investigation. And yes the As*hole did dump their car in Allen pond making it look like it was stolen

These two must be cooperating with law enforcement because they've been doing some serious fraui for a long long time!! As far as the as*hole Simpson it's not much different. He's been getting away with alot of shit for a long long time and I pray they look into his dealings with these two
