A federal appeals court has reinstated the conviction of a Libyan man and two associates accused of conspiring to dupe the US into granting tax-exempt status to a defunct Muslim charity by hiding its pro-jihad activities.
The court yesterday reinstated the jury’s guilty verdictagainst Libya’s Emadeddin Muntasser,Samir Al-Monla and Muhammed Mubayyid. They led the defunct Boston-based Care International Inc.
A jury convicted them in January 2008. But a US District Court judge overturned the tax conspiracy conviction,saying the evidence didn’t support the verdict.
The district court will sentence Al-Monla and re-sentence Muntasser and Lebanese national Mubayyid.
Mubayyid’s attorney says his client was deported after serving his original sentence. The others’ attorneys didn’t immediately return calls for comment.
