Business

Iraqi bank executive Ali Mohammed Ghulam Hussein Al Anssari (Ali Ghulam) has used his position at the top of several Iraqi commercial banks to enrich his family, the IRGC-QF, and Iranian-aligned militia groups. Ali Ghulam has given the IRGC-QF a degree of control over banks under his purview, where it has generated millions of dollars in revenue for itself and its militia proxies. Ali Ghulam has managed Kata’ib Hizballah’s finances, including investing the fortunes of Kata’ib Hizballah’s highest-ranking leaders outside of Iraq. Ali Ghulam has similarly provided financial services to Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq, including procuring U.S. dollars and laundering funds using counterfeit documents and receipts to avoid government scrutiny. Despite his illicit activities, Ali Ghulam has avoided justice in Iraq by bribing judicial authorities. Ali Ghulam, Ali Meften and Aqeel Meften are being designated pursuant to E.O. 13224, as amended, for having materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of, the IRGC-QF.
