12/01/2010 Hezbollah denied on Tuesday the latest report published by the German magazine against the party as "fabrications" aimed at "distorting" the group's image.
"The party categorically denies the accusations of Der Spiegel magazine against Hezbollah," the party's media relations said in a statement.

"Hezbollah was not surprised by Der Spiegel's cheap fabrications because the mentioned magazine has persisted since a while in publishing lies and spreading fabricated rumors in an attempt to distort the group's delightful image," the statement read.

While holding the German magazine the legal and moral responsibility of the unjust fabrications, Hezbollah called on those who are in charge of the magazine not to be a cheap tool in the hands of the Zionist entity to cover its crimes in Lebanon and Palestine.

"They should be a mirror that reflects the real image and portrays the oppression of the Lebanese and Palestinian nations as well as the horribleness of the massacres committed by the Israeli enemy," Hezbollah statement concluded.

The German magazine claimed on Saturday that German investigators are probing Hezbollah's alleged cocaine smuggling in Europe and the transfer of the profits to Lebanon via Frankfurt airport.

It claimed initial suspicion that Hezbollah was raising funds by smuggling cocaine was raised in May 2008 when around 8.7 million euros in cash were found in the luggage of four Lebanese men at Frankfurt airport.

It added that suspicion is that family members have been regularly moving millions of euros raised in the European cocaine trade, via Frankfurt to Beirut.
