FBI Shuts Down/Raids Marvelous Pizza

H Street's Marvelous Pizza (which wasn't all that Marvelous, at least after they changed ownership) was shut down today. MPD stood guard outside as federal agents boxed up and removed papers from the establishment.

This was first reported by the neighborhood blog Titan of Trinidad via Twitter.



DCist has the full story on what turned out to be an FBI raid related to multiple charges.

And there I was hoping it was Marvelous Cocaine distribution :-)

Sounds like the FBI chasing after small fish in real estate fraud.

not that he isn't a bum, but, they should just ask him to plead guilty and bust the big dogs.

via DCist: "Atef Ben Amor Amri, and five other associates 'fraudulently obtained $3,000,000 through various schemes.'"

Looks like there was a lot of dough running through that pizza joint! Ba dum dum!

Finally some white collar crime! I feel like going from violent muggings to mortgage fraud is really a turning point for our neighborhood.
