Abu Dhabi: Three Kuwaiti officials have been charged, while a sheikh and a lawyer are on the intelligence radar for links to a Hezbollah-related money laundering band and orchestrated through an Iranian, local media reported.
Sources told al Qabas that the operation was larger than that of Bangladeshi MP Mohammad Shahid Islam, who remained in custody for human trafficking and money laundering.
The arrest of a cash laundering gang in Kuwait, orchestrated through an Iranian in collusion with others, adding Kuwaiti, has helped reveal the secret of fortune made by some social media influencers.
In July, Kuwaiti security agencies arrested the head of a money laundering network that Kuwaiti newspaper Al Jarida said was related to Hezbollah.
After several months of surveillance, tracking and investigation, the government raided a cabin in Kuwait’s Bnaider region, where the network leader lives.
Fuel imports
The leader is an Iranian married to a Kuwaiti citizen and has obvious ties to Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah.
The explosion came after Lebanese general security department leader Abbas Ibrahim visited Kuwait to negotiate fuel imports.
According to reports, two Kuwaiti, a Lebanese, a Bangladeshi and an undocumented are also involved in the operation, who allegedly confessed to being their boss’s intermediaries, but who had a limited role in buying and promoting their comguyd.
According to Al Jarida sources, the prime suspect, known as Fuad Salhi, has “extensive relations with Kuwaiti officials” and “close ties with others convicted in the case. “
As stated, “the operations were carried out through a Gulf bank and the cash was sent to a regional state. “
On the radar
Investigations are underway to continue the crackdown to locate and prosecute everyone involved in the cash laundering network, involving a sheikh lawyer and a lawyer. A fourth Kuwaiti officer is also on the radar to detect gang connections.
Apparently, this is the first time the Iran-backed organization has connected to a cash-laundering operation.
Recently, Al Arabiya TV reported that before his assassination, Iraqi investigator Hisham Al Hashimi was going to report Hezbollah’s cash laundering cell phone in Iraq.
Al Hashimi, a prominent Iraqi armed equipment expert who begged governments and gave the impression in the media, was shot dead near his home in Baghdad, the capital, on July 6 through two armed men traveling on motorcycles.
