Saudi Arabia Sanctions Individuals and Company Linked to Hezbollah

On Oct. 20, Saudi Arabia designated as supporters of terrorism two individuals and one business over their links to Hezbollah.

Those sanctioned are Lebanese nationals Muhammad Al-Mukhtar Falah Kallas and Hasan Jamal-al-Din, and the Iraq-and Lebanon-based Global Cleaners (aka: GLBAL CLEN S.A.R.L.).

The individuals and business sanctioned were designated under the Saudi Law of Terrorism Crimes and Financing and Royal Decree A/44, which targets terrorists and their supporters that act for or on behalf of terrorist organizations. Under the law, any assets under Saudi jurisdiction are frozen, and Saudi citizens or residents are generally prohibited from engaging in any transactions with the individuals or entities.
