Not sure what the exact charges were, but apparently they
got him on 15 counts:

================================================
http://www.cbs11tv.com/localstories/local_story_189185736.html

"--Ghassan Elashi was found guilty of six counts while Basman
Elashi, the company shipping clerk, was convicted on all 23
counts.
--Ihsan Elashi was found guilty of 15 counts. Haszim Elashi was
found guilty on nine and Bayan Elashi was convicted on 12 counts.
--The company was found guilty on ten counts."
