Ten Manhattan Bodegas Barred by Manhattan DA From Selling Weed

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg reached an agreement barring a slew of convenience stores from selling illegal cannabis products as part of a crackdown by city and state officials on the proliferation of unlicensed pot retailers.

Bragg’s enforcement action targeted 11 stores owned by Rami Alzandani, the bulk of which are located on the Upper West Side and Midtown West, the DA’s office said Tuesday. Alzandani agreed to pay $103,000 to the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance and forfeit more than $300,000 worth of illegal proceeds.
