According to the sources, the party relies on seemingly normal commercial shipments, where parcels containing “clothing, cosmetics, shoes, and foodstuffs” are exploited to conceal the money being transferred, noting that some of these parcels arrive in Lebanon from “Turkey” in particular.
The sources also indicated that part of the smuggling operations is carried out through “temporary or fictitious” import companies that are used only to facilitate the passage of suspicious shipments, and then they are closed or replaced by others using the same mechanism.
The sources stressed that Hezbollah is keen to constantly change the methods of money smuggling, in order to mislead the financial and security control agencies and prevent the discovery of its affiliated networks.
This information comes within the framework of a series of international and Arab reports that have spoken during the past months about illegal financial activities that accuse the party of being involved in, whether through money laundering networks, or money smuggling operations related to the “American and Gulf” sanctions imposed on it.
