A federal judge on Thursday handed a victory to prosecutors in a case against a former Baldwin County doctor accused of failing to pay restitution in a health care fraud case.
U.S. District Judge Kristi DuBose ruled prosecutors, at Rassan Tarabein’s upcoming trial, can introduce into evidence a counterfeit check seized from his luggage as he was attempting to leave the country in April.
Federal agents stopped Tarabein at Pensacola International Airport in April as he was about to board a plane in for Syria. Law enforcement officers searched a suitcase he checked in for the flight after a drug-sniffing dog alerted the presence of drugs. The judge quoted from an 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals case ruling that “airline travelers know that their checked bags are subject to routine searches such that cannot demonstrate that he had an expectation of privacy with respect to his checked suitcase.”
