GUINEA-BASED HIZBALLAH FINANCIERS SANCTIONED BY U.S.

Designations aim to disrupt Hizballah’s business network in West Africa,
Treasury says

Friday, March 4, 2022

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The U.S. Treasury Department on Friday sanctioned two Lebanese businessmen based
in Guinea due to their support of Hizballah.

Ali Saade and Ibrahim Taher are both prominent Lebanese businessmen with direct
connections to Hizballah, the Treasury said. Saade initiates money transfers
from Guinea to Hizballah, while Taher has been identified as one of Guinea’s
most prominent financial supporters of Hizballah, according to the Treasury.

The sanctions on Saade and Taher come as the U.S. keeps a focus on
counter-terrorism efforts even as it responds to the Russian invasion of
Ukraine.

The designations are aimed at disrupting Hizballah’s West African business
network, which relies on bribery and influence to circumvent the rule of law,
the Treasury said. Hizballah was designated in 1997 by the U.S. State Department
as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO).

Saade has a close relationship with Kassem Tajideen, who was sanctioned in 2009
over his financial contributions to Hizballah, the Treasury said. Saade was
Tajideen’s primary contact in Guinea, making significant efforts to provide him
with unrestricted access to corrupt high-level members of the former Guinean
government, according to the Treasury. Saade also advised Tajideen on methods
for making financial transfers to evade regulatory detection.

Tajideen was sentenced in August 2019 to five years in prison and ordered to
forfeit USD 50 million after he had pleaded guilty to a count of conspiracy to
launder monetary instruments involving the evasion of sanctions. He was deported
back to Lebanon in July 2020, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE)
announced in a press release.

Taher and an associate sent U.S. dollars collected at one of their commercial
facilities to Conakry Airport and bribed Guinean customs officials to allow
their currency to pass in luggage, according to the Treasury. He used his status
as an honorary consul of Lebanon to Cote d’Ivoire to travel in and out of Guinea
with minimal scrutiny, the Treasury said. 

“Hizballah has developed a global network of financiers, supporters, donors and
facilitators, enabling the group to constantly threaten the security, stability
and prosperity of Lebanon and the broader region,” said Ned Price, a State
Department spokesman, in a statement.
