Four paid cash condos in one year The Quebec leader of the network dismantled Monday by the RCMP could lose everything
The Lavallois at the head of the network that laundered the millions of dollars of organized crime in Quebec has had no trouble to afford four condos in one year, he paid cash.
However, Mohamad Jaber is now in jail since the RCMP's Collector operation on Monday, and the federal treasury could inherit the many properties he acquired when he was clearing money from drug traffickers.
Jaber, 51, is charged with tax evasion, gangsterism, money laundering, conspiracy and money laundering.
To ensure that Jaber gets what he owes, the IRS obtained court blocking orders from six condos owned by Jaber.
More than $ 3 million
This includes the four that he bought cash in 2015 in Laval, Montreal and Mont-Tremblant, as well as a house and another condo acquired in 2017, according to court documents and notarial deeds that Le Journal consulted.
The present value of these six properties exceeds $ 3 million.
That year, he also bought one for $ 411,900 in Côte-Saint-Paul, Montreal, and another $ 215,000 in Mont-Tremblant.
He lodged his lieutenant
He also owns a house on Laval's Fafard Street, which served as home to his alleged right hand man and number two in the dismantled network's Quebec cell, Kamel Ghaddar, also accused in this case.
If Jaber is unable to pay his tax debt, the federal agency will then ask the courts to confiscate the foreclosed property for his benefit.
He remains the owner of the six condos pending further legal proceedings. But he is forbidden to sell them and he must "keep them in good condition" to "save their value," according to the ordinances.
