It is alleged that he contravened Paragraph (3) subparagraph (1) of the Emergency Management (COVID-19)  (Curfew) (No.3) Directive on February 8 when he being the owner/operator of a non-essential service not permitted to open, did so.

The COVID-19 Monitoring Unit is expected to begin prosecuting Ibrahim on May 18.

Special investigator with the Unit Ronald Cummins is the prosecutor and the accused is being represented by attorney-at-law Talal Noumeh.
