Abbas Hussein Harb and Ibrahim Chibli are being designated today pursuant to the Kingpin Act for collaboration with designated drug kingpin Ayman Joumaa in the movement of millions of dollars of narcotics-related proceeds.  Harb’s Colombia- and Venezuela-based organization launders money for the Joumaa network through the Lebanese financial sector.  Chibli used his position as the manager of the Abbassieh branch of Fenicia Bank in Lebanon to facilitate the movement of money for Joumaa and Harb.  For example, in 2010, Joumaa moved over a million dollars into an account owned by Harb and managed by Chibli.  Harb is a dual citizen of Venezuela and Lebanon, and Chibli is a Lebanese national.
