US prosecutor Preet Bharara and the Narcotics Department chief Michele Leonhart said that the transaction of 150 million dollars came from an account in an American bank via the Beirut-based Lebanon Canada Bank.

That last move by the United States is reported to be linked to the money laundering trial opened in New York last year.
