This Bellingcat and The Sunday Times investigation alleges ties between former UFC fighter Mounir Lazzez and the Kinahan organised crime group, presenting photographs of Lazzez with cartel leaders and corporate/shipping documents that link him to offshore companies which bought oil tankers subsequently sanctioned for assisting the Iranian regime; the reporting raises questions about his business links to criminal networks and connections to a vessel involved in a major cocaine seizure.
