WB Trade Fair Grocery is a retail food store located in Waterbury, CT that has recently been charged with federal food stamp fraud and illegally trafficking in food stamp benefits. The store operators, TALLAT MAHMOOD, RAUL CARLOS MONARCA, and TAHIR SHAHZAD, allegedly allowed customers to redeem their food stamp benefits for cash and other ineligible items, resulting in approximately $3.2 million in food stamp redemptions over an 18-month period.
The store, located at 43 Willow Street, is accused of violating the rules and regulations of the Supplemental Nutrition and Assistance Program (SNAP) by accepting food stamp benefits in exchange for items such as cigarettes, glass pipes, bongs, and hookahs. If convicted, the defendants could face a maximum term of imprisonment of five years.
