A man who was the target of a “hit” ordered by Edmonton landlord and convicted fraudster Abdullah Shah has pleaded guilty to two counts of uttering threats.
Part Two of CBC Edmonton's new series Behind the blue line: Investigating Abdullah Shah looks at Project Fisk, a two-year police investigation into Abdullah Shah and his company Home Placement Systems as a suspected criminal organization.
Shah s lawyer told Court of Queen s Bench Justice Nate Whitling that his client and Moukhaiber had a falling out after a very large theft of tools and equipment. A verbal argument ensued as a result of that, Paul Moreau said. He made a large number of threats against Shah . to victimize his children in a violent fashion.
Moreau said that argument led to the phone calls Shah made to the remand centre.
During a phone call a few days later to another inmate, Shah said he had been ripped off for $90,000. I want it done so badly, the minute you tell me he s in medical, I ll be putting $1,000 in your account, he told inmate Salem Godinjak.
