Hezbollah Financials Under Lebanese Review

Lebanese Minister of Justice Adel Nassar has referred the "Hassan Loan" Institution, the financial arm of Hezbollah, to the Public Prosecution for investigation into its financial activities. This comes after an internal study raised questions about the nature of the institution's financial operations. The move is part of international efforts to combat money laundering and terrorism financing. The institution has previously been subjected to sanctions by the U.S. Treasury Department. The investigation is seen as a test of the Lebanese state's authority to impose oversight on financial institutions, especially amid the ongoing financial collapse since 2019.
