3. Title 18, United States Code, Section 2341(2) defines "contraband cigarettes," as "a
quantity in excess of 10,000 cigarettes, which bear no evidence of the payment of
applicable State or local cigarette taxes in the State or locality where the cigarettes are
found, if the State or local government requires a stamp, impression, or other indication
to be placed on packages or other containers of cigarettes to evidence payment of
cigarette taxes, and which are in the possession of any person other than"
a. A person holding a permit issued pursuant to chapter 52 ofthe Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 as a manufacturer of tobacco products or as an export warehouse

USAO#201IR00382

and
11. who has complied with the accounting and payment requirements relating
to such license or authorization with respect to the cigarettes involved; or
d. An officer, employee, or other agent of the United States or a State, or any
department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States or a State (including
any political subdivision of a State) having possession of such cigarettes in
connection with the performance of official duties.
4. Virginia Code 58.1-1001 states that:
A. Except as provided in subsection B, in addition to all other taxes now imposed by
law, every person within this Commonwealth who sells, stores or receives cigarettes
made of tobacco or any substitute thereof, for the purpose of distribution to any person

USAO#2011R00382

5. Virginia Code 58.1-1003 states that:
A. Except as otherwise specifically provided pursuant to 58.1-1003.2, the taxes
imposed by this chapter shall be paid by affixing stamps equaling the amount of the tax in
the manner set forth. The stamps shall be affixed to each individual package, bag, box or
can in such a manner that their removal will require continued application of water or
steam. Every stamping agent in the Commonwealth shall affix to any unstamped
cigarettes the requisite denominations and amount of stamp or stamps that represent the
proper tax levied by this chapter prior to shipping to other wholesale dealers or retail
outlets.
6. A "master case" of cigarettes, also known as a "case" of cigarettes, contains 60 cartons of
cigarettes.
7. A "half-case" of cigarettes contains 30 cartons of cigarettes.
8. A standard "carton" of cigarettes contains 10 packs of cigarettes.
9. A standard "pack" of cigarettes contains 20 cigarettes.
10. "Taxed" or "stamped" cigarettes means a State or local tax stamp has been affixed to the
cigarettes.
11. "Untaxed" or "unstamped" cigarettes means a State or local tax stamp has not been
affixed to the cigarettes.
12. The Commonwealth of Virginia has experienced an influx of organizations and
individuals who buy large volumes of cigarettes to transport to other states. Virginia is a
source state for low-cost, low-tax cigarettes. States that impose high taxes are often
destination states, such as New York.
13. In 2009 and 2010, the Commonwealth of Virginia levied a cigarette tax of $0.30 per pack
USAO#2011R00382
4
or $3.00 per carton of cigarettes.
14. In 2009 the State of South Carolina levied a cigarette tax of $0.07 per pack of cigarettes
but on July 1, 2010 increased this tax to $0.57 per pack.
15. South Carolina does not require that a tax stamp be affixed to cigarettes sold in the state
of South Carolina.
16. In 2009 and 2010, the State of New York levied a cigarette tax of$2.75 per pack or
$27.50 per carton of cigarettes.
17. In 2009 and 2010, New York City levied a cigarette tax of$1.50 per pack or $15.00 per
carton of cigarettes (plus the state tax levy of $2.75 per pack-equaling a combined tax
levy of $4.25 per pack) or $42.50 total per carton of cigarettes. This tax is included in the
retail price indicated below.
18. Effective April 1, 2009, the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of
2009 (CHIPRA) increased the federal cigarette tax on cigarettes.
19. There are many different kinds and quality levels of cigarettes. Marlboro cigarettes, for
example, are a Tier One, meaning highest quality level, cigarette that in 2010 retailed in
Virginia for approximately $36.00 per carton. The wholesale price in 2010 in Virginia
for this same carton of cigarettes would be approximately $32.08.
20. In 2009, the retail price for a carton of Marlboro cigarettes in South Carolina was
approximately $30.00.
21. In 2009, the retail price for a carton of Marlboro cigarettes in New York was
22. In 2009, the retail price for a carton of Marlboro cigarettes in New York City was
USAO#2011R00382

23. The difference in price of a carton of cigarettes in Virginia as compared to South
Carolina, New York, and other high cigarette tax states is such that individuals engaged
in the illegal trafficking of cigarettes can make a substantial amount of money by buying
cigarettes in Virginia, paying the Virginia cigarette tax, and selling them in other states
that levy a greater tax. Individuals engaged in the trafficking of contraband cigarettes can
make even more money by buying untaxed cigarettes and selling them in states that levy
a greater cigarette tax. The procurement of cigarettes from low tax states or untaxed
cigarettes for sale in high tax states without paying the cigarette tax in the high tax state is
the essence of contraband cigarette trafficking.
24. The illegal profits generated by the sale of contraband cigarettes in high tax states can
also be used to make additional cigarette purchases from low or no tax sources. In this
way the contraband cigarette trafficking enterprise can continue.
25. Consequently, to conceal their contraband cigarette trafficking, participants often file
false or misleading reports with state agencies, and/or place counterfeit state tax stamps
on the cigarette packs they sell.
26. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms is the principal federal agency
responsible for investigating the transportation and possession of contraband cigarettes.
MANNER AND MEANS OF THE CONSPIRACY
27. It was part of the conspiracy for the defendants to acquire untaxed cigarettes in the
Western Judicial District of Virginia and to transport them or have them transported for
distribution in South Carolina, Pennsylvania, New York, and other locations known and
unknown to the Grand Jury.
28. It was further part of the conspiracy that as of July 18, 2011, during the course of the
USAO#20lIR00382
6
conspiracy, the defendants have purchased from undercover law enforcement officers
approximately 925,329 cartons of untaxed cigarettes. The defendants have paid law
enforcement officers approximately $20,924,498.56 for the untaxed cigarettes.
29. It was a further part of the conspiracy that the defendants used various businesses to
facilitate and conceal their illegal conduct.
30. It was a further part of the conspiracy that the defendants used various bank accounts to
conceal proceeds from their illegal conduct.
31. It was a further part of the conspiracy that the defendants used proceeds from their illegal
conduct to promote their business in contraband cigarettes.
32. It was a further part of the conspiracy that during the course of the conspiracy, the
defendants deprived the Commonwealth of Virginia of more than $2,775,987 (925,329
cartons x $3 a carton) in cigarette taxes. Contraband cigarettes that were transported and
sold in other states resulted in the loss of additional tax revenues to those states.
Cigarettes obtained and sold by the defendant without having paid the federal cigarette
tax deprived the federal government of additional tax revenue.

fourth tier cigarettes to EMMANUEL and ANJAY PATEL and ship these

cigarettes to EMMANUEL's wholesale business, Tristar Holdings. Tristar
Holdings would then sell these cigarettes to CDC. EMMANUEL stated that these
transactions would be reported in CDC's records, however, all the premium
brands that were sold to Tristar Holdings would be sold out of Tristar Holdings'
warehouse and would not be reported to avoid paying the applicable taxes as it
had been done in the past.
g. When EMMANUEL and ANJAY PATEL were told that the funds used by UC
Flagg to purchase his share of CDSC would come from the sale of untaxed
cigarettes and was a means to launder cash, ANJA Y PATEL agreed and further
suggested that UC Flagg could launder smaller amounts, such as $20,000, through
CDC, which could issue a check to V.T.
h. EMMANUEL and ANJA Y PATEL told the UCs that they intended to place their
share of CDC in the name of their respective wives. ANJAY PATEL stated that
he felt that another Limited Liability Company (LLC) should be formed by the

person" if he ratted everyone out to the police.
