Using latex gloves, plastic wrap, and fragrant insect repellent sticks, Hor Akl and his wife, Amera, worked to bundle about $200,000 to conceal it inside a vehicle they planned to ship to Lebanon, an assistant U.S. attorney said Monday.
The money, he added, was headed to a known terrorist group, Hezbollah.
The Toledo couple pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court Monday to charges that they conspired to smuggle money to a terrorist group overseas. As part of their negotiated pleas, each will be sentenced to time in prison.
