RALEIGH, N.C. — The president of two business entities that operate Tobacco Road Sports Cafes in Durham and Raleigh is accused of embezzling more than $1.6 million in sales and use tax from the North Carolina Department of Revenue, according to a release from Attorney General Josh Stein.
A Wake County grand jury indicted Raed Abel Amra, of Apex, on 15 counts of aiding and abetting the embezzlement of state property.
The indictments allege that between October 2012 and December 2019, Amra aided and abetted the businesses to embezzle more than $1.6 million in sales and use tax from the North Carolina Department of Revenue.
Amra was also the president of the now-closed Chapel Hill location of the Tobacco Road Sports Cafe.
WRAL News reached out to Amra for a statement but did not hear back as of Friday evening.
The Department of Revenue referred the criminal case to Stein's special prosecutions section.
