Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree says Canadian national security agencies are looking into a B.C. company accused of financial ties to the Iran-backed Hezbollah group.
The RCMP and Canadian Security Intelligence Service are “reviewing the situation and then they will have more to say,” the minister, who oversees the agencies, said on Wednesday.
Anandasangaree was responding to a Global News report that the U.S. government had sanctioned a Vancouver company over its alleged role in a $100-million Hezbollah financial network.
Seven Seas for International Trading and Logistics was formed in B.C. in 2022 by three directors, all based in Qatar. Corporate records obtained by Global News show it remains active.
It has not been sanctioned by Canada.
The B.C. government said it had reached out to the federal government about Seven Seas, since Ottawa is responsible for sanctions related to terrorist financing.
“Any next steps from the province would be informed by that engagement with our federal partners,” the B.C. Finance Ministry said in a statement.
CSIS confirmed that Canada’s national security agencies “are looking at this issue and working with U.S. partners accordingly.”

The RCMP said it was aware of the sanctions on the B.C. company and working “to determine the extent of this network in Canada and disrupt the transfer of funds and resources to listed terrorist organizations.”
“To protect operational integrity, we will not disclose information on potential or ongoing investigations until charges are laid and it’s a matter of public record.”
Responding four days after Global News asked for comment, Global Affairs Canada said it was working “with partners and allies to identify threats and will take action through relevant channels where appropriate.”
Hezbollah is a key part of Iran’s so-called axis of resistance, a collection of terrorist factions that serve Tehran’s interests through the Middle East.
Canada calls Hezbollah “a radical Shia group ideologically inspired by the Iranian revolution.” The Lebanese faction is involved in the U.S. and Israeli war that began on Feb. 28.
Canadian security agencies have long accused it of fundraising and money laundering in the country.
Asked why Canadians had only heard about the Vancouver company as a result of U.S. enforcement action, Anandasangaree repeated that more information would be coming.
“We often do not talk about matters that are under investigation, and as you’re aware, there are a range of things that our law enforcement do, including on national security matters, and this is one of those matters where they will have more say.”
The U.S. sanctions allege the B.C. company is part of a network led by “Hezbollah financier” Alaa Hamieh that spans Lebanon, Syria, Poland, Slovenia, Qatar and Canada.
Its founder, Raoof Fadel, “is involved in numerous projects with Alaa Hamieh and the Hizballah finance team,” according to the press release announcing the sanctions.
The U.S. Treasury statement said Seven Seas was “Hezbollah-associated” and was the “Canadian branch of Alaa Hamieh’s similarly named Lebanese companies.”
Reached by Global News on Wednesday, Fadel said from Qatar that he was consulting his lawyer prior to commenting.
Typical for our government to be the last to know simply because they don’t want to listen even to there own security people!
Only in Canada.
Wow look at this Doug Brekfaust guy go off. He’s like a toddler jumping up and down because nobody is listening to him. Also he’s a lot like me. He couldn’t win a debate if his life depended on it… get it… his life depended on it 🤣
Israel are way bigger terrorists than Hezbollah squared by Hamas lol. 50k dead babies is the proof. ISRAEL DELENDA EST!
Kick the terrorists out of Canada and the Liberal Party will lose it’s voting base
“What does that even mean”
ROFL 🤣
Figures you can remember what you say and how stated fact contradicts it!
Bring on Eby’s spring amendments to DRIPA. It will be voted thru and it won’t be enough next election once all our newcomer settlers vote against sharing land title. Last election in both Surrey band Richmond they voted for white conservatives. LOL
What doug the slug convenienly forgets is that his beloved l i b e r a l s let in all those undesirable people he alleges are now being removed .
JV You just keep ranting things me that you do not know about. I’ve no issue with bringing in people into industries or services where we short of Labour.
But our numbers are down to 383,000 short term work visas from 1,400,000 random everything visa’s.
400,00 makes sense. Population gap theory formula for Canada indicated that with success and dignity our housing and services infrastructure can absorb around 400,000.
But if you’re braking the rules, gaming the system you should be deported. Bc
Face it JV you actually don’t have any real knowledge about anyone on this website.
Shiks, Ukrainians, Asians, Irish and Iranians are all welcome if you’re contributing to the tax base and adding something to greater society.
Long live all settlers and JV you can bet vote next none of the above old ir new will be voting for anyone n favour of DRIPA! Long live democracy!
LOL
Doug Brekfaust is a loser like me! He’s never won a debate in his life
393,500 to 393,750 added… 20,000 to 22,500 people removed…
I’ll let you do the math there Doug. Long live the settlers hey dumbass!!
“BTW I have Liberal almost as often a Conservative”
What does that even mean? 😂
“Canada admitted approximately 393,500 to 393,750 new permanent residents in 2025, according to reports in early 2026”
Look at Doug Brekfaust freak out 🤣🤣🤣 Man this guy is so easy to trigger
LOL at JV. Fish on the line!
Wow are you wrong as usual.
Under a liberal administration in Canada.
“ As of March 2026, Canada is accelerating its deportation efforts, with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) reporting that it is currently removing approximately 400 individuals per week”
“ Overall 2026 Strategy: The CBSA is targeting an annual goal of 20,000 to 22,500+ removals for the 2026 calendar year, following a record 22,500 removals in 2025.”
Look it up instead of triggered ranting all the time.
BTW I have Liberal almost as often a Conservative.
I bet that really messes up your false narrative eh?
After the past 11 years, this really shows the state this country is in. When we have to get these tips from outside sources, because nobody here is qualified for the positions they hold.
Hezbollah was created after Shitrael and its terrorist IOF invaded and occupied Southern Lebanon. They feds should be investigating any group associated with the apartheid ethno-state terrorists instead.
Hey look Doug Brekfaust the N A Z I has something to say. Oh look he’s talking about kicking people out of the country just like the MAGAtards down in the USA. Unfortunately for Doug he doesn’t live in the USA so nobody is getting kicked out of the country. Life is tough for a N A Z I like Doug in Canada
Where there is smoke there is usually fire. From the IRA and Cuba to the Shiks and PLO. Groups have been using and abusing the rights, laws and safety of NA to hide behind while they raise money and fund trouble back in the old country. Kick them all out.
