[IsraelTimes] Authorities suspend 5 Moslem organizations and ask to expel head of Shi’ite group for money-laundering and terror funding Kosovo prosecutors have asked a court to expel an Iranian man from the country on charges related to money laundering and terrorism funding.
The statement identified him only as H.A.B. and said he had not shown the sources and destination of hundreds of thousands of euros spent between 2005 and 2015. It said withdrawals from the bank account are much larger than the income from donations and that the Iranian has lied about the origin of donations. Due to the investigation, authorities have suspended five Moslem organizations operating in the country. The statement didn’t give any more details about why they had been suspended.
Officials did not name the man but local media identified him as Hasan Azari Bejandi, who runs the Qur'an NGO and oversees the activities of four other religious organizations suspected of having links to Tehran. Kosovo newspaper Express reported the NGOs had been spreading anti-Western and anti-Semitic sentiment. | ||
