A Toorak businessman, Kunal Atul Shah, has been charged with selling over 930 prohibited weapons, including swords, without proper authorization from Victorian authorities. The charges include advertising, possessing, and selling these items without exemptions, as well as failing to verify buyer identities and keeping sales records. The case originated when a mother reported her teenager purchasing a sword from Shah's business on eBay. Additionally, Shah is linked to a controversial land 'flipping' scheme involving Raine and Horne Land Victoria agents, where properties were allegedly undervalued and sold to associates without disclosing relationships to vendors.
