A federal judge on Tuesday accepted guilty pleas from a former halal market owner in Portland who used his store to traffick public assistance benefits, including food stamps.
U.S. District Judge D. Brock Hornby said he was satisfied that the government could have demonstrated, had the case gone to trial, that Ali Ratib Daham, 40, of Westbrook conspired to defraud the government of about $1.4 million between 2011 and 2016.
