Cartel Docs

Cartel Docs documents Hezbollah-linked drug trafficking and money laundering: the brokers who served Colombian and Mexican cartels supplying the United States, the cocaine and cash routes running through West Africa and Europe, the Captagon trade out of Syria and the Bekaa Valley, and the exchange houses and businesses that carry the proceeds to Lebanon and the wider Middle East.

Every case file is built from public records (indictments, court filings, sanctions designations and enforcement actions), cited at the end of each article, and keeps allegations separate from what courts established.
