Additionally, Mubarak was captured on a recording discussing a 2017 shooting incident where he targeted a former co-conspirator because he believed the man had stolen his organization’s drug money. Mubarak explained that the individual was transporting cash through Logan airport on behalf of Mubarak’s group and that he claimed that the money was seized by police, which was in fact true.
