Nouh Zaiter

Nouh Zaiter is a notorious Lebanese drug trafficker and a prominent figure in one of Lebanon's major Shiite clans. He was wanted for years due to multiple arrest warrants and was recently captured by the Lebanese army in the Bekaa Valley. Zaiter operated a significant drug empire, known for producing and exporting captagon, a stimulant similar to amphetamines, and was suspected of having connections with Hezbollah, which he has publicly supported. Despite his criminal activities, he portrayed himself as a Robin Hood figure, claiming to share his wealth with his local community. In March 2024, he was sentenced to death for shooting at Lebanese soldiers.
