Makki has been described in court paperwork as a conduit for contraband cigarettes that were part of the "Charlotte Hezbollah Cell," in which Mohamad Hammoud played a leadership role.[103] A Detroit Free Press article about the case indicated that Makki had smuggled between $38,000 and $72,000 worth of cigarettes to Michigan once a month for two years and personally gave more than $2,000 to the "orphans and martyrs" program of Hezbollah.[104] Makki (see below) actually placed what he called a "resistance tax"[105] on top of his sale of illicit cartons of cigarettes, apparently ensuring customers that the money would be redirected to Hezbollah
