MOSCOW (Sputnik) — According to the Lebanese An Nahar daily, the terrorist group uses stores in Lebanon to smuggle cultural artifacts, gold, explosives and drugs.
The newspaper reported that a butcher from the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli, identified as Gh.Gh., was related to the butchers from the territories occupied by Daesh in the Syrian provinces of Homs and Hama. The butcher is said to have received not only meat, but also narcotic pills, ancient artifacts and explosives from territories controlled by the extremist group.
Daesh, outlawed in many countries including Russia and the United States, has been relying heavily on revenues from black-market sales of drugs, smuggled crude oil and human trafficking from the captured territories of both Syria and Iraq.
