"Va. man charged in Mideast funds transfer," from AP, :
WASHINGTON - A Virginia man was charged Wednesday with illegally wiring millions of dollars to Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and other nations.Louay Habbal allegedly wired more than $23 million from Mena Exchange, an unlicensed money transfer business he ran from his home in suburban Vienna, Va., according to an indictment unsealed Wednesday in the U.S. district court in Alexandria, Va.
Authorities said no terror charges have been brought against Habbal, but the investigation is continuing.
Between November 2001 and July 2004, officials said, Habbal deposited funds from worldwide customers in a Virginia bank account. After taking out his fee, Habbal transferred the funds to individuals designated by his customers in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Sudan, Britain and France.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement investigators seized more than $100,000 from the Mena Exchange bank account.
Habbal, 45, is a naturalized U.S. citizen from Syria. He was arrested late Tuesday at Dulles Airport as he returned from Syria and was charged with operating a money transmittal business without a license....
Habbal is a former Managing Director, Middle East, of the embattled Riggs Bank of DC. He is also with SHAPE Financial of Falls Church, VA, a company offering Sharia-compliant financial and real estate services.
Boy oh boy, Virginiastan is certainly beginning to look more and more like a hotbed for Muslim criminals lately, isn't it? When will these illiterates ever learn? Or will they?

He obviously he feels Muhammadans are above the laws of the nation they parasitize. He can't plead ignorance since he's connected (former Managing Director) with a real bank.

Maybe he thinks giant spiders will come to his rescue.

More specifically, Habbal was Managing Director, Middle East, with the Riggs International Private Banking Division. I have not been able to ascertain when Habbal left Riggs Bank. Riggs Bank was sued by survivors of 9/11 victims for failure to comply with banking oversight laws that resulted in funds from Saudi Embassy accounts being transferred to two 9/11 highjackers.
