I wonder where Nasrallah has been getting his paychecks from? Could it be he is directly profiting from the laundered drug money funneled through used car dealers? It is interesting that the loudest voice for the refugees plight would be among the financial elite. 250 Million can buy a lot of peace and stability, and you would think Nasrallah would walk the walk and spend his "fortune" on the needy. After all, even Al Capone set up soup kitchens and bread lines.

According to the report, Iranian parliament members are aware of this corruption, are unhappy with it but are avoiding discussing it.
