(Times of Israel) An alleged financier for the Hezbollah terrorist organization was arraigned in a federal court in New York City on Wednesday.
Mohammad Bazzi has been accused of funneling millions of dollars to the Lebanese terror group. The US Justice Department branded him a “key financier” of the organization.
He was arrested in Romania and indicted on US charges in February, and extradited to the US on Tuesday.
The US Treasury in 2018 classified Bazzi as a “specially designated global terrorist” for assisting in, sponsoring, and providing financial, material, and technological support and financial services to Hezbollah, the US Attorney’s Office said.
