Attorney General Sessions - Announces Hezbollah Financing and Narcoterrorism Team

The End of Who Barry?

Attorney General Jeff Sessions today (12/11/18) announced the creation of the Hezbollah Financing and Narcoterrorism Team (HFNT), a group of experienced international narcotics trafficking, terrorism, organized crime, and money laundering prosecutors.  HFNT prosecutors and investigators are tasked with investigating individuals and networks providing support to Hezbollah, and pursuing prosecutions in any appropriate cases.  The HFNT will begin by assessing the evidence in existing investigations, including cases stemming from Project Cassandra, a law enforcement initiative targeting Hezbollah’s drug trafficking and related operations.

The DEA operation, (written by your adversary Barry) called Project Cassandra, was launched in 2008 after federal investigators discovered that Hezbollah had transformed itself into an international crime syndicate that was providing Iran with more than $1 billion a year from drug and weapons trafficking, money laundering and other criminal activities.

In its determination to secure a nuclear deal with Iran, the Obama administration derailed an ambitious and highly successful campaign led by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) to halt large scale drug trafficking and other international organized crime activities by Hezbollah.

“The Justice Department will leave no stone unturned in order to eliminate threats to our citizens from terrorist organizations and to stem the tide of the devastating drug crisis,” said Attorney General Sessions.  “In an effort to protect Americans from both threats, the Justice Department will assemble leading investigators and prosecutors to ensure that all Project Cassandra investigations as well as other related investigations, whether past or present, are given the needed resources and attention to come to their proper resolution.  The team will initiate prosecutions that will restrict the flow of money to foreign terrorist organizations as well as disrupt violent international drug trafficking operations.”

Hezbollah, also known as The Party of God, is a radical Shi'a Muslim group fighting against Israel and "western imperialism" in Lebanon.
