Charitable Organization in Italy Funded ISIL through Turkey.


Charitable Organization in Italy Funded ISIL through Turkey. (Sputnik).

In Italy, organizing such a scam is easier than in other European countries, as the NGOs in the country are not required to account for the movement of funds in their bank accounts. FATF Executive Secretary David Lewis stated in an interview to RT that he feels the states are making insufficient efforts to block extremists’ access to the cash flows.

The Financial Action Task Force (on Money Laundering) (FATF), also known by its French name, Groupe d'action financière (GAFI), is an intergovernmental organization founded in 1989 on the initiative of the G7 to develop policies to combat money laundering.

The information on this case was given to us by the Italian authorities, one of the first and most active members of the FATF. This data suggests that non-profit and charitable organizations intentionally or unintentionally might have participated in the financing of terrorism,” executive secretary David Lewis told RT during an interview.
Here's how this scheme worked. Thousands of individuals and entities from all over Europe transferred funds to the account of a charity organization in the Italian bank thinking that the money will be donated to help Syrian children.

The money went to Turkey, and from there a recruiter for Daesh (ISIL) took the money and distributed it to terrorist groups.

The news that Daesh uses charity money to finance its activities is certainly shocking. However, this is not the main source of income for these terrorists, RT reported.

He further explained, “This is especially true of freezing assets. We found that two-thirds of the countries have not frozen terrorist funds included in the UN list. Those governments that implement these measures are moving too slow. For there to be a result, it is necessary to act in a matter of hours. But in most cases, it can be either two days or a month before the authorities take any sort of action. During this time, assets can disappear without a trace.”Read the full story here

Sometimes NATO and US partner Turkey: 'We made wanted terrorist group Hamas mainstream'


Sometimes NATO and US partner Turkey: 'We made wanted terrorist group Hamas mainstream'. (HD).

Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu has strongly defended Turkey’s relationship with Hamas, suggesting that this relationship has actually helped make the militant Palestinian group "mainstream."

“Turkey wants to make contributions for peace in the Middle East and is establishing dialogue with everybody who wants to contribute. It is trying to convince everybody,” Çavuşoğlu said on Jan. 12, in response to Washington’s apparent criticism of the relationship between Ankara and Hamas.

Everybody can see how much of a difference there is between Hamas’ previous line and its current stance. The country that has made the biggest contribution to this is Turkey. We have even convinced Hamas to recognize the independent Israeli state in the case of a resolution,” he added, speaking to state-run Anadolu Agency.

Our dialogue with Hamas is important for peace and dialogue. We don’t understand those who say ‘We are against the Hamas leader’s [Khaled Mashaal] visit to Turkey.’ No matter who they are and no matter where they come from, people who come to Turkey enter and exit in line with international law and the laws of Turkey. Turkey is a democratic state governed by the rule of law. Therefore, whoever enters and whoever stays, and for how long, is designated by laws,” Çavuşoğlu said.

It is not a decision to be made by politicians of third countries,” he added. Hmmmm.....It's pretty obvious Islamist 'State sponsor of terrorism' Turkey's message is: "We don't care about international laws And rules'. Read the full story here.

Turkey - Ex-Ak Party employee reveals how fraud won the 'Islamist' AK Party elections


Turkey - Ex-Ak Party employee reveals how fraud won the 'Islamist' AK Party elections. (Bugun).

“The 30 March 2014 were viewed by the AK Party as life or death, and the plan was to win the election at all costs,” expresses an anonymous employee within the AK Party, outlining mass fraud in last year’s local elections local.

Speaking to the daily Taraf newspaper, the ex-employee of the Election Coordination Center of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party), who still works for the party, spoke how the AK Party outlined, manipulated electoral poll results, deliberate misprints of vote counts against the AK Party’s competitors all factoring in to the victory. He adds that the he could no longer stomach the incidents that occurred.

The anonymous source’s claims verify findings in a case concerning the local election results pertaining to the Kağıthane district of İstanbul. In December the supervisor of the #1060 ballot box confessed that there were alterations in the ballots to favor the AK Party.

29 cases have been opened concerning a total of 37 inquiries concerning the March 2014 local elections concerning Kağıthane İstanbul. AK Party delegate Fazlı Kılıç had won the election with 132,562 (51.3%) of the votes in Kağıthane. The AK Party were victorious obtaining 46.5% followed by CHP at 27.8%.

The source outlines that the manipulation of election polls was the starting point for the AK Party’s tactics.

“The AK Party-friendly survey companies prepared polls which showed the AK Party votes high," notes the individual, who had been working for the AK Party since 2011, adding that the AK Party would then use these polls results to justify that the outcome of the elections were fair and expected.

Preparations were also made to orchestrate the ballot officials according to the source who further outlined that the AK Party had conducted different intelligence gathering on each ballot box, profiling the supervisor; “Individuals who were either pro-AK Party or easy to engage were appointed to Electoral Board Presidencies.”

The elections results revealed that numerous ballots were misreported, in a matter that often favored the AK Party. According to the source, “the numerous errors in the election were deliberate. ‘Mistakes’ on the ballot results reported from towns to the central administration decreased the results of any party ahead of the AK Party…For example the Republican People’s Party (CHP) 320 votes were recorded as 32. Upon discovery they would simply state it was an error.”

The ex-Electoral Coordination Center employee also confirmed the widely reported notion that the AK Party had tried to discourage rival parties representatives from remaining at the ballot box until the election was concluded.

“Rumors were circulated that the AK Party had won with a vast majority in order to discourage the ballot officials from other parties from remaining at the box. In instances where other party representatives remained in the room the AK Party officials would try to stir up fights." He adds that minutes were loaded of ballot supervisor’s phones to keep the contact on going with the coordination center.

The source also adds that the AK Party votes were also hiked up with numerous frauds concerning addresses. “Tens of individuals’ names were written in the address information of other party’s voters. There were many double votes… in municipalities buildings were created on paper, and false addresses, streets home were shown as addresses.”

This is not the first time Erdogan uses 'jesters', Executives of a private firm that helped organize events at the “Ak Saray” presidential palace had demanded that actors from the Ankara State Theaters appear at the palace in costumes, including those of local poets Rumi and Yunus Emre, as well as classic Russian authors.

Islami Bank In Bangladesh under investigation for terrorist financing.


Islami Bank In Bangladesh under investigation for terrorist financing. (BDNews).

"Islami Bank already gave a report on how its profits are spent. The intelligence people have been instructed to look into whether there are any discrepancies in it," said the minister.

He was speaking to reporters after emerging from a meeting of the ministry's Antiterrorism Committee on Thursday.

Kamal said the government was monitoring a few other financial institutions, operated by the bank, accused of terrorist-financing.

"The key to terrorism is funds. If that can be traced then wiping out terrorism will be easier," said the minister.

Islami Bank has been under international pressure in the last few years after a US Senate Committee report accused it of terrorist financing.

Banks like HSBC, Citi Bank NA and Bank of America have suspended transaction with it since then.

According to Bangladesh Bank officials, the bank maintained accounts of people, who were on the UN's suspicious people's list.

Islami Bank authorities did not disclose information of those accounts to the central bank.

The Bangladesh Bank has been monitoring the Islami Bank for quite sometime. It appointed an ‘Observer’ to the institution in 2010.

On April 15, the Prime Minister's Office had sent a letter to the central bank governor asking for information on the bank's 'corruption'.

It read, “Bangladesh Bank earlier had helped the government by providing information about the irregularities-corruptions at Islami Bank. The Prime Minister’s Office has received complaints regarding several other irregularities-corruptions.

“Details on those irregularities-corruptions are needed. Hope, you will cooperate by providing the information soon.”

The bank, widely believed to be supported by the Jamaat-e-Islami, has come under fire from pro-liberation forces for their alleged funding of Islamist groups.

The party itself is facing investigation of the International Crimes Tribunal for the crimes against humanity committed during the War of Independence.

The Board of Directors of the bank is always dominated by people linked to Jamaat-e-Islami.

Muslim US ICE Intelligence Officer caught up in a $600G fraud and money laundering and...... possible Hezbollah link.



Muslim US ICE Intelligence Officer caught up in a $600G fraud and money laundering and...... possible Hezbollah link.(CJR).Shariah Finance Watch: This news story proves the adage that truth is indeed stranger than fiction.
It seems that a US Department of Homeland Security Immigration and Customs Enforcement intelligence officer has been embroiled in serious financial impropriety.
But wait, that isn’t even HALF the story. It gets much worse.
This intelligence officer is a former colonel in the Jordanian Air Force named Ahmed Abdallat. Abdallat started working for the US federal government way back in 1995 and has had access to all sorts of sensitive and classified documents and programs during his tenure. He has also been posted around the world, especially in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia. Most recently, Abdallat has been assigned to an intelligence post right on the US-Mexican border in El Paso, Texas, an area that has been given increasing scrutiny due to persistent reports of Hezbollah activity.

Abdallat is caught up in a fraud and money laundering scandal involving a Department of Homeland Security ICE official named James Woosley, who scammed the taxpayer systematically over a three-year period.
Law enforcement officials stealing is bad enough, but in our view, Abdallat’s involvement is the potentially much bigger story here. You see, we know that Woosely was using his ill-gotten gain to buy a new boat and a second home.
Not Abdallat.
Abdallat wired $570,000 to bank accounts in the Middle East. Maybe Abdallat was just sending his money overseas for himself. But maybe he was sending money overseas for an entirely different purpose…One thing we do know: Abdallat didn’t make anywhere near enough money off of his US government salary to explain over a half million dollars in wire transfers.
To make matters worse, when the FBI raided Abdallat’s home, they found two Jordanian passports, which he wasn’t supposed to have and they found evidence of several Middle Eastern bank accounts that Abdallat denied having…
There certainly seems to be more to this than just a bureaucrat who got greedy…All the focus of the media on this investigation seems to be on Woosley. We think more scrutiny should focus on Ahmed Abdallat.Read the full story here.
