Role: Ammar is an alleged member of Hezbollah who is suspected of involvement in the terror group’s transnational money-laundering and narcotics operations. The three have been accused of using Miami banks to launder money for Colombian cartels.

Ammar and associates Hassan Mohsen Mansour and Ghassan Diab were allegedly responsible for laundering $500,000 through Miami banks. According to court documents, Ammar is related to a “high-ranking member of Hezbollah who has access to numerous international bank accounts.” Ammar is reportedly Diab’s brother-in-law.

Mohammad Ahmad Ammar, 31, a resident of Medellin, Colombia, who was arrested in Los Angeles in September 2016, is believed to be the main figure in the scheme and is currently in a Miami-Dade jail facing state felony money-laundering charges.

Ammar’s father is a well-connected Hezbollah associate.
