On 19 April, a news release from US Immigration & Customs Enforcement advised of actions being taken against actions against Nazem Ahmad, an individual sanctioned by the US under the Global Terrorism Sanctions Regulations (GTSR) for his involvement with the terrorist organisation Hizballah, as well as against several other individuals involved in Ahmad’s global criminal organisation, that utilised a web of businesses to benefit Ahmad and helped him to continue to provide Hizballah access to US and international financial markets. Despite being sanctioned and prohibited from engaging in transactions with US persons since December 2019, Ahmad and his co-conspirators relied on a complex web of business entities to obtain valuable artwork from US artists and art galleries and to secure US-based diamond-grading services all while hiding Ahmad’s involvement in and benefit from these activities.
