Richmond man was sentenced to house arrest and fined almost $50,000 for smuggling more than 10,000 kilograms of unstamped chewing to***co.
The Canadian Border Security Agency said Thursday that Mehboob Karim Alladina pleaded guilty on June 21 at provincial court in Richmond after smuggling $475,600 worth of to***co from India between 2008 and 2016.
The agency said it first became aware of the 71-year-old car salesman in 2009, when Alladina paid a traveler to smuggle 14 kilograms of to***co through the border at Boundary Bay in Delta.
Between July 2008 and November 2009, Alladina ordered unstamped to***co from a U.S. company called Zarda King and shipped it to a mailbox in Point Roberts, Wash. โ the other side of the Boundary Bay crossing.

In November 2009, border guards intercepted the traveller at Boundary Bay and seized $2,831 worth of to***co.
Starting in 2010, Alladina placed larger orders with Zarda King and split them with an Ontario-based associate named Raamkumar Raaman, paying him $85,490 for his portion of the to***co.
Alladina and Raaman ended up importing about 8,500 kg of to***co, worth about $361,500, resulting in an estimated total of $704,365 of evaded federal duties and taxes.
In June and July 2016, Alladina partnered with another Ontario man to bring 336 kilograms, valued at $23,300, into the country. He stored these at Surrey storage unit.
