ZDFheute: Where Hezbollah Gets Its Money

Body

Terrorism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler from the transatlantic think tank Counter Extremism Project (CDP) explains on ZDFheute live how the terrorist organization finances itself, how much money Hezbollah needs and what the international community has done so far to combat terrorist financing. Hezbollah's financial needs are met primarily by three aspects. A large part of the financial support comes from Iran, both in the form of money and weapons, said Schindler. Other criminal sources of income for Hezbollah include extortion of Lebanese businessmen abroad. However, in the last 15 years, another business has become very relevant.”
