US car dealerships involved in Hezbollah money laundering scheme
Washington, Dec 17: Over two dozen US car dealerships were allegedly involved in an international 300 million dollars money laundering scheme for Lebanon-based terrorist organization Hezbollah, federal officials have said.
According to a 62-page complaint filed in Manhattan federal court, federal agents served restraining orders and grilled employees at as many as 30 used car dealerships around the country, as part of a civil case that also named a Lebanese bank and two exchange houses as part of the plot.
