U.S. again targets Houthi financier’s illicit shipping network with sanctions
The Biden administration has targeted a Houthi financier with sanctions, blacklisting nearly 20 companies, individuals and vessels around the globe that facilitate his illicit funding of the Yemen militants.
Sa’id al-Jamal, 45, was designated by the United States as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist in June of 2021, accused of generating tens of millions of dollars for the Houthi rebels in Yemen through the sale of Iranian petroleum.
