US Justice Department sentences Hezbollah business network manager to jail and fines

The US Department of Justice announced in a statement Thursday evening, August 5, that a network director for a business network in Lebanon and Africa, which was previously under sanctions for sponsoring Hezbollah, was sentenced to prison.

According to the statement, Washington DC District Judge Reggie W. Walton sentenced five-year-old Jasmine Tajdedin to five years' imprisonment and a $ 5 million fine.

The US Treasury had listed the Lebanese citizen in the global terrorism list for $ tens of millions of dollars in support of Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed Shiite militia in Lebanon.
