The United States imposed on Wednesday new sanctions on 52 people and companies based in nine countries for assisting Lebanese businessman and art collector Nazem Said Ahmad, accused by Washington of financing Hezbollah.
In a press statement, the US Department of State said that in coordination with the Department of Treasury, it is taking actions against a global sanctions evasion network that facilitates the payment, shipment, and delivery of cash, art, and luxury goods for the benefit of Hezbollah financier and Specially Designated Global Terrorist Nazem Said Ahmad.
