AG Tong announced he has secured a $4.93 million judgment against Planet Zaza of East Haven and its owner, Mohamed Alraishani in his personal capacity, following persistent illegal cannabis sales in spite of a court order and repeated law enforcement visits. This is the largest civil penalty ever imposed in Connecticut for illegal cannabis sales, underscoring the egregious nature of Planet Zaza’s misconduct.

“The State of Connecticut is not playing around. Legal cannabis is not a free-for-all. If you are unlicensed, if you sell untested, unregulated cannabis, we will find you and we will hold you accountable." – AG Tong
