From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Born in Lebanon, Nabil Sayadi was the director and founder of the European branch of Global Relief Foundation, centred in Belgium.

He was transferred 200,000 Euros by Al-Qaeda financier Mohammed Zouaydi, which caused him to be placed on FBI and United Nations watch-lists along with his wife and GRF secretary Patricia Vinck. As a result, Belgium froze their bank accounts.^[1]Neither organization had listed any crimes with which they are associated.

He currently lives in Putte, outside Brussels with his wife and four children, Omer, Youne, Rouqayah and Yassine.^[2]

He has been described by the FBI as a close friend and associate of Wadih El-Hage, personal secretary to Osama bin Laden.
