Moukhaiber was later assaulted by one of the associates after being released from remand, but court heard the assault as counselled by Shah did not ultimately happen.
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.
