He also wrote a book about drug trafficking, LOL.
Wonder if he was laundering money or getting paid off to support drug traffickers. Sounds like he was also helping to hide bribery money and money stolen from Venezuela. The overseas bank acct was owned by a Colombian.

The DOJ’s OPDAT had a course for various law enforcement from Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay about terrorist & transnational criminal org firearms trafficking. 👍
I’ll bet Iran and Hezbollah in the tri-border area were included in that class.

Nader Mohamad Farhat, a Lebanese national who ran a large, currency exchange biz in Paraguay, who has suspected ties to Hezbollah, was just extradited to Miami to face money laundering charges.

So far, he's been charged with various money laundering offenses related to proceeds from drug trafficking and for transmitting unlicensed currency in the US. It also looks like he's being charged in Miami AND New York.
He was originally arrested by Paraguay with help from the DEA on May 17, 2018. The Lebanese embassy there tried to pressure Paraguay NOT to extradite him, but obviously that didn't work, LOL.
And around that same time, in January 2018, Sessions announced a new team, the Hezbollah Financing and Narcoterrorism Team, to investigate people & networks involved with supporting Hezbollah, which included #ProjectCassandra cases.
News Analysis 🔎 by Jeff Carlson @themarketswork | Terrorists linked to #Hezbollah were stockpiling bomb-making ingredients—including 3 tons of ammonium nitrate—in #London in 2015 in what was described as a “secret British bomb factory.”

The 2015 case was kept “hidden from the public” until now.
The decision to hide the information occurred during a period of intense public debate over the @BarackObama admin's #IranNuclearDeal.
Obama hailed the deal, claiming, “Every pathway to a nuclear weapon is cut off.”

Notably, Obama never submitted the #IranNuclearDeal to Congress because he knew it had no chance of passing. The #Iranian parliament also never approved the deal nor did #Iran's president sign it.
US State Dept is going after Hezbollah’s money laundering network & shell companies. Hezbollah has been linked to a variety of Swampy deals as middlemen moving the cash around. #ButNothingsHappening
A few days ago it was revealed that banks in Brussels & Luxembourg were connected to Hezbollah & other criminal networks.
The activity against Hezbollah is happening because former AG Sessions ordered DOJ to reverse decisions made by the Obama Administration to kill the #ProjectCassandra investigation! #ButNothingsHappening
Wow, BIG ONE! 👇👇👇👇👇
Another part of worldwide cartel taken down!
Hugo Armando Caravajol Barrios, who was a former high-ranking #Venezuela Military Intel officer, was arrested in Spain for conspiring to traffic almost 6 TONS of cocaine into the US.

Oh wow, this looks like the same guy. In February, Barrios allegedly turned against Maduro and urged the military to do the same.
It seems he was also willing to provide evidence against Maduro!

He also said the former Vice President was courting Hezbollah. He traveled to Iran and Syria with him to talk about plans for Hezbollah militant to go to Venezuela to work with FARC fighters.

Standard Chartered Bank is back in trouble again. Already part of an agreement with the DOJ, they allowed the laundering of $240M in Iranian cash from 2007-2011 through their Dubai, UAE branch. #ButNothingsHappening

Looks like their total hit in fines & surrendered assets is $1.6 Billion.
The UK penalty is $477M, NY $292M, & DOJ 292M
They also have to add 2 more years onto their cooperation agreement that was filed for charges from before 2007. Now they get to cooperate on crimes after 2011

An unidentified bank employee has plead guilty in DC & is cooperating with authorities. I'm sure the timing of this announcement is connected to the designation of IRGC as a terrorist organization yesterday. DC US Attorney Jessie K. Liu says this harmed US national security.
President of Gambia exposed in a 22 year effort to steal $1 Billion from his impoverished nation. Global money laundering networks are under sustained attack! #ButNothingsHappening!
Sweetheart deals to energy & mining companies. Shady shipping & communications companies. Wow, this sounds so familiar! #ButNothingsHappening
Huh, a Hezbollah money launderer handling the transactions. This sounds like something that might have been exposed by #ProjectCassandra if Obama hadn't killed it!
Looks like Tajideen tried to get released from prison while awaiting trial back in May. Thankfully, his request was denied.

There's arguably a far bigger Obama admin scandal relating to #IranDeal appeasement than shutting down the #ProjectCassandra investgiation into the #Hezbollah financing cars-for-cocaine, one involving upwards of $100bn flowing into the mullahs' coffers thefederalist.com/2018/01/15/wil…
As @FDD's @JSchanzer detailed in a must-read @TheAtlantic piece "The Biggest Sanctions-Evasion Scheme in Recent History" (theatlantic.com/international/…) #Turkey-#Iran concocted a "gas-for-gold" trade yielding $bns as part of an effort to wage "economic jihad" thefederalist.com/2018/01/15/wil…
The success of that effort, which surely funded detrimental activities to US while keeping the Khomeinists afloat during a time of econ duress was bad enough. Worse was that "NATO ally" #Erdogan AND THE OBAMA ADMIN whitewashed the scheme AND enabled it thefederalist.com/2018/01/15/wil…
