SNIPPET: “VANCOUVER — Don’t cross the Canadian border with almost a million dollars that you fail to declare — especially when you also have a Hezbollah ring and a Palestinian scarf in your possession.
Khaled Nawaya found that out the hard way when he was arrested Oct. 6 at the Douglas border crossing in Surrey, B.C., and had to spend a month in detention while being investigated as a security threat.
He was released on Thursday with a long list of conditions after a hearing before the federal government’s Immigration Division member Lynda Mackie. He remains to have no status in Canada.”
SNIPPET: “About $800,000 of Mr. Nawaya’s stash, which is still in the Canadian government’s possession, was in Canadian gold coins purchased by Mr. Nawaya’s brother, who lives in Texas. There was another $70,000 in cash and about $10,000 in his pockets,
Further compounding the situation was his possession of a ring with the Hezbollah emblem. Mr. Rankin said the ring was one of two specially made by Mr. Nawaya’s brother.
Hezbollah is a militant group fighting Israel’s presence in Lebanon. Canada considers it a terrorist group.”
