"Company documents show the Wolf Cafe & Eatery is owned by a company directed by Dib Barakat, who was jailed in November 2019 with his brother over a plot to swap real cigarettes with fakes made from potato and molasses, to avoid paying millions of dollars in taxes"
"We don’t know what is going on,” Barakat, 41, who has completed his prison term, told The Age on Thursday. “We have no problems with no one. We do our business. We do our coffee shops and that’s what we do.”
Uh huh. If you say so Barakat.
Yeah they all seem to have no idea why they were targeted and say it’s a case of mistaken identity. Oh sure. Well, at least you know which coffee shops to avoid so you don’t accidentally get molotoved while getting a latte.
