A Lebanese-Belgian dual citizen, accused by the United States of financing Hezbollah, pleaded guilty on Friday to charges of sanctions evasion and money-laundering conspiracies. The individual, a former Lebanese diplomat, was branded a 'specially designated global terrorist' by the US Treasury Department in 2018. The Department of Justice confirmed the guilty plea, emphasizing the individual's role in funneling money to the Iranian-backed Hezbollah group in Lebanon. Reuters reported that the US government has labeled the organization as 'terrorist'.
