The US State Department is offering up to $10m for tips on Hezbollah’s activities in Latin America, Al Jazeera reports.

“If you have information on [Hezbollah] smuggling, money laundering, or other financial mechanisms in the Tri-Border Area, contact us. You could be eligible for a reward and relocation,” the State Department said in a post on X.

The Tri-Border area refers to the border of Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil where the State Department says Hezbollah generates revenue through “money laundering, narcotics trafficking, counterfeiting of US dollars, illicit diamond trade, and smuggling of bulk cash, charcoal and cigarettes and oil”.
