Investigators watched as the 56-year-old loaded about 20 cases of smokes into the van bearing a Nova Scotia plate, registered to Mansour’s wife, Crystal Moore, 49. The tobacco investigator “never lost sight of the van from the time it left the house until the time of the traffic stop,” he said. Investigators used a database to figure out the property owner is BM Group Holdings Limited, a company with a mailing address on Pebblecreek Crescent in Dartmouth that’s headed by Charbel Makhlouf, who shares his name with a Lebanese saint.
“I have become familiar with specific street terms or ‘slang’ used by persons involved in smuggling activity related to the illegal distribution of tobacco,” Naugle said. Mounties seized 2.2 kilos of cocaine, drug paraphernalia, 145,000 contraband cigarettes and more than $100,000 in cash from the residence. Mansour, then 49, was arrested and charged with trafficking in cocaine, possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking and possession of proceeds of crime.
On June 27, 2016, they met again so Mansour could sell the undercover policewoman another 100 grams of cocaine for $6,500.Fast forward to May 2, 2017, when the Crown withdrew three charges against Mansour for unlawful possession of tobacco products for sale and distribution.
