the United States, Europe, and the Middle East, 
and was run by Chekry Harb, also known as 
‘‘Taliban’’. According to lead prosecutor for the spe-
cial prosecutor’s office in Bogota, Gladys Sanchez, 
‘‘The profits from the sales of drugs went to finance 
Hezbollah.’’. 
(2) In 2011, the Department of the Treasury 
blacklisted the Lebanese Canadian Bank as a pri-
mary money laundering concern, alleging that it is 
part of a drug trafficking network that profited 
Hezbollah by moving approximately $200,000,000 
per month. 
(3) In April 2013, when the Department of the 
Treasury blacklisted two Lebanese exchange houses, 
Kassem Rmeiti & Co. and Halawi Exchange Co., for 
laundering drug profits for Hezbollah, it stated that 
Hezbollah was operating like ‘‘an international drug 
cartel,’’ adding that the ‘‘Halawi Exchange, through 
its network of established international exchange 
houses, initiated wire transfers from its bank ac-

then wire transferred via Halawi’s banking relation-
ships indirectly to the United States through coun-
tries that included China, Singapore, and the UAE, 
which were perceived to receive less scrutiny by the 
U.S. Government.’’. 
(4) The Department of Justice reported that 29 
of the 63 organizations on its FY 2010 Consolidated 
Priority Organization Targets list, which includes 
the most significant international drug trafficking 
organizations (DTOs) threatening the United States, 
were associated with terrorist groups, and noted

(2) In 2002, authorities in Charlotte, North 
Carolina arrested members of a cell run by Moham-
med and Chawki Hamoud and convicted them on 
various charges, including funding the activities of 
Hezbollah from proceeds of interstate cigarette 
smuggling and money laundering. 
(3) In 2006 the Department of the Treasury 
designated operations of Assad Barakat, treasurer 
for Hezbollah, as providing material support for a 
foreign terrorist organization and noted that 
Barakat had engaged in mafia-style shakedowns and 
‘‘threatened TBA (triborder area) shopkeepers who 
are sympathetic to Hezbollah’s cause with having 
family members in Lebanon placed on a ‘Hezbollah 
blacklist’ if they did not pay their quota to 
Hezbollah’’ and also was ‘‘involved in a counter-
feiting ring that distributes fake U.S. dollars and 
generates cash to fund Hezbollah operations’’. 
(4) In 2009, Paraguayan authorities arrested 
Moussa Hamdan and three other individuals for sell-
ing fraudulent passports and trafficking in counter-
feit money and sporting goods, illegally obtained 
consumer electronics and automobiles and then 
using the proceeds to buy arms for Hezbollah.
