Canada tied to global terror finance investigation
The United States Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on a Vancouver-based company accused of links to a financial network supporting Hezbollah, an Iran-backed terrorist organization.
U.S. officials say the sanctions target a global network that allegedly funneled more than $100 million through international companies operating across multiple countries — including Canada.
The sanctioned firm, Seven Seas for International Trading and Logistics, is alleged to be connected to individuals involved with Hezbollah’s finance operations.
Assets under U.S. jurisdiction are now frozen, and American entities are prohibited from conducting business with those sanctioned.
More developments expected.
