Five grocery stores in the Gresham and Englewood neighborhoods on the South Side
after their owners were charged with Link card fraud.
Walid Mohamed, 50, of Palos Hills, Imad Qatanani, 37, of Burbank
and Mohammed Abuzir, 49 of Bridgeview are each charged with organizing a
criminal financial crime enterprise.
Link cards function as debit cards
for Illinois residents eligible for "cash assistance or ... food stamps,"
according to the state Department of Human Services. The three are accused of
making phony transactions that allowed customers to get cash.
Police were tipped to the scam in June and opened an investigation
with the Cook County state’s attorney’s office, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture and the Department of Homeland Security.
Police searched safety deposit boxes, bank accounts and seized two
guns and $100,000.
The stores closed were on Ashland Avenue south of
Garfield Boulevard; Garfield Boulevard west of Ashland Avenue; the 6500 block of
South Ashland Avenue; the 8500 block of South Ashland Avenue; and the 6800
block of South Damen Avenue.

There's hundreds doing the same thing.All over Chicago.Martinez Supermarket on 33rd and Morgan.Liquor store on 51 st and Ashland.Store on 71and Ashland.Citco gas station on .45 and Cicero.I get 150 cash for my 225 link monthly.At any year locations.
Which is why all food stamps should be cut off. Let these retards starve.
If you are too stupid to be able to take care of yourself and your offspring, you deserve to starve.
Surprised someone finally caught on...these same people, dont eat pig or drink beer, but deliberately distribute it, in low income, African American neighborhoods. There are restaurants that take link as well...
