TKJ you´re right, I was talking about Mink Kok who is connected to one of the most influential families of Lebanon: his wife is Siba Qoleilat Dalbi. The extended family Qoleilat is prominent in many places in Lebanon and the world, in a legal and illegal way. The DEA considers Ali Qoleilat, a brother-in-law of Kok, as one of the main suspects behind a failed drug transport of 1100 kilos of cocaine that was intercepted in 2011 at an airport in the Dominican Republic. Kok is also connected to Kinahans and in the past the IRA.
Oh yeah, the Koleilats are also rumored to launder a shitload of money for many (non-Lebanese) criminal organizations. Mink Kok is a very smart guy. Well-spoken, always very polite... Basically, he comes across as a likable fellow - but once he thinks you're done, you're done.
The majority of his prison sentence in Lebanon Mink K served in relative luxury. He told an employee of the Dutch embassy about the circumstances in the Roumieh prison. There he served a prison sentence of 4.5 years for cocaine smuggling. K. had in Lebanon - in his own words - disposition of a refrigerator, television, playstation game console and various DVDs. "It was a party for three years," he says to the embassy employee. After those three years, the authorities invaded the prison with a lot of power. Then it was soon over with the fun.
