In or about August 1985, Mrs. Zaban, along with Gary Genovese,
a shareholder with Mr. Zaban in the Parlay Cafe, filed an
application for a liquor license for the Parlay Cafe with the
Board of Liquor License Commissioners for Baltimore County. The
application falsely stated that Mrs. Zaban had a 50-percent
ownership interest in G&Z, Corp., the entity that owned the Parlay
Cafe. Moreover, the application failed to disclose that Mr. Zaban
had an interest in G&Z, Corp. The renewal applications for 1988
and 1991 contained the same false declaration and omitted the same
information.
Each application contained a question as to whether any of the
applicants had been convicted of violating gambling laws. Had Mr.
Zaban been listed as one of the applicants, the Parlay Cafe might
have been denied a liquor license.
B. Criminal Record and Activity of Mr. Zaban
Prior to 1978, Mr. Zaban became involved in bookmaking
activities with Herman "Lefty" Neumyer. In 1978, Messrs. Zaban and
Neumyer were arrested and convicted of bookmaking. Mrs. Zaban knew
of her husband's bookmaking activities with Mr. Neumyer. She also
knew of her husband's conviction.
On August 2, 1990, Mr. Zaban was charged with illegal
possession of flash paper, a material used by bookmakers for the
purpose of destroying records of their activity. The flash paper
was discovered in a March 1990 search of Mr. Zaban's Mercedes Benz
