The United States Department of State, the United States Department of Justice, and Europol convened the thirteenth meeting of the Law Enforcement Coordination Group (LECG) to counter Hezbollah’s terrorist and illicit activities on June 6-7. Law enforcement, prosecutors, and financial professionals from more than 35 governments in the Middle East, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America attended the session, which marked the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the LECG.
LECG participants identified indicators to uncover and disrupt Hezbollah’s activities and discussed the most effective strategies and tools to combat these threats. Participants highlighted recent steps taken by governments to counter Hezbollah’s financial mechanisms and criminal schemes, as well as its international terrorist operations.
The meeting was attended by officials from the US State, Justice, and Treasury departments, as well as the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National Counterterrorism Center.
The LECG was established by the United States and Europol in 2014 as a global platform aimed at improving international coordination with governments around the world to counter Hezbollah’s terrorist and other illicit activities.
