Berlin, (ST) – The German police announced the dismantling of a network that laundered money and transferred it to terrorist organizations in Syria.
Düsseldorf police said in a statement, according to the Associated Press, that, about a thousand German police carried out a raid today in the states of North Rhine-Westphalia, Lower Saxony and Bremen, the largest of its kind in years, in search of members of the cell that finances the terrorist organization Al-Nusra Front in Syria.
According to the Public Prosecution Office, a 39-year-old Syrian refugee heads this network of 67 people, which has transferred more than 140 million euros to terrorists in Syria.
The German “WDR” station reported that the network transferred millions of euros of profits resulting from drug smuggling and other illegal activities to Turkey and from there to terrorist organizations in Syria.
It is noteworthy that Western countries, including Germany, have supported and financed terrorist organizations in Syria over the past years to achieve their goals and plans, which was proven by news reports and documents, using various arguments related to humanitarian and other matters.
