On 4 April, OFAC designated 2 Lebanese brothers — Raymond Zina Rahme and Teddy Zina Rahme — who used their wealth, power, and influence to engage in corrupt practices that contribute to the breakdown of the rule of law in Lebanon, thereby undermining Lebanon’s democratic processes to the detriment of the Lebanese people. The two are said to have used companies under their control — located both inside and outside of Lebanon — to win multiple government contracts through a highly opaque public tendering process.
