“The Department of Justice has alleged that El Zia Zabayar acted as a liaison between the Maduro link Cartel de las Souls or Cartel of the Suns and Hezbollah and Hamas. Hezbollah has also been active in Venezuela's southern neighbor of Colombia. The US Treasury Department has linked Lebanese Colombian drug kingpin Ayman Joma his network to Hezbollah as well.
