Hezbollah Funding Network Linked to Vancouver Company Under U.S. Sanctions
FINTRAC's 2022 alert noted Hezbollah moving money via auto sales, with Hamieh overseeing companies that hide ownership through relatives.
Corporate records show 1380892 B.C. LTD registered in 2022 with Winnipeg and Vancouver addresses, but U.S. sanctions block transactions.
Canadian and provincial governments did not respond to requests, and Fahed Sowane denies allegations while facing deportation.
U.S. calls the network a 'critical source' of Hezbollah funding, while Canada links sanctions to concerns about Iran-aligned axis of resistance.
