A lawyer for a Harlem dad charged with trying to smuggle more than $776,000 hidden in boxes of Alka-Seltzer and Dove soap to Yemen likened his client to a clueless drug mule Monday in Brooklyn federal court.
Attorney Robert Feldman put on an entertaining opening statement as the trial for Abdulkarim Altareb got under way.
“You ever hear of a mule carrying drugs . . . and she does not know? That’s what this case is,” Feldman said.
Feds busted Altareb last year before he boarded a plane from JFK Airport to Yemen.
