Update: as a result of our press release below, Sao Paolo Governor, Marcio França, has apologized for his reception of the reported “Ambassador of Hezbollah in Brazil” and will attend the 24th Commemoration Ceremony of the AMIA bombing on 18 July in Buenos Aires. We suggest that Brazilian President Michel Temer similarly express regret for his welcome to the Iranian Foreign Minister.
“Brazilian officials claim legitimate commerce in a culture of corruption.”
Buenos Aires and Paris, 24 April 2018
“At the same time as former President and Brazilian national hero, Lula, was sent to jail for corruption and Hezbollah was drug running and money-laundering across the Brazil borders with Argentina and Paraguay (the lawless Triple Frontier), President Michel Temer gave a state welcome to Iranian Foreign Minister, Mohammad Zarif, in Brasilia,” noted Simon Wiesenthal Centre Director for International Relations, Dr. Shimon Samuels.
Together with Dr. Ariel Gelblung, the Centre Latin America Representative, a protest was made to Temer and two Protocol officers, warning that Brazil was following in the path of Venezuela, much of which is controlled from Tehran and their local Hezbollah minions.
The murdered Argentine Prosecutor, Alberto Nisman, had shared his findings with the Centre, claiming such a terrorist presence in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Paraguay, Surinam, Venezuela and sleeper cells sown in the Caribbean.
“President Temer argued legitimate commerce, while Brazil’s first responsibility should have been to its Argentine neighbour, to respect the INTERPOL Red Notice arrest warrants for five Iranian suspects, especially the current Koranic advisor to the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, Mohsen Rabbani who, allegedly, planned the 1994 AMIA Jewish Centre bombing, leaving 85 dead and over 300 wounded,”reported Gelblung.
On 17 April, the so-called successor to fugitive Rabbani, Shiite Sheikh Bilal Wehbe, reportedly “Hezbollah Ambassador in Latin America,” was received with honours by Sao Paolo State Governor, Marcio França.
Wehbe, apparently, fled Paraguay for cocaine-shipping and is wanted by the United States. He now heads a mosque in Sao Paolo.
“Brazil is playing a dangerous game. These relationships are anything but commercial, in a culture of corruption and appeasement in a continent of porous frontiers and primitive anti-terrorism security controls. This situation not only menaces Latin America. It is a direct threat to the United States, much more dangerous than Cuba at the height of the Cold War,” alerted Samuels.
“Iran and its alter ego Hezbollah seek the destruction of the State of Israel, promote hatred against the West and are infiltrating Latin America. Most worrying about Brazil is total oblivion to these threats. A situation reminiscent of the Titanic orchestra, who continued playing as the boat submerged,” suggested Gelblung.
