The former owner of a coffee shop in Rosslyn has been convicted of an extensive credit card fraud scheme.
Adiam Berhane, 50, was the co-owner of Caffe Aficionado in Rosslyn, which was open from 2013 until 2016, when the cafe was shut down following a police raid. Federal prosecutors said Berhane used the cafe to process fraudulent payments after obtaining stolen credit card information from the internet — and last week a federal jury in Alexandria agreed.

Tucked into the rolling hills of Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, the Shenandoah Valley Music Festival blends world-class music with small-town charm and breathtaking scenery. Held at historic Shrine Mont in Orkney Springs, this beloved summer tradition has brought live performances to the region for over six decades.
