[KavkazUzel] A criminal case on the financing of terrorism is being investigated against a 27-year-old resident of Makhachkala, who is suspected of transferring more than 100 thousand rubles for the needs of the Islamic State. According to investigators, the suspect, while outside of Russia, misled two acquaintances, through whom she transferred more than 100,000 rubles to a Turkish citizen to support the Islamic State. The suspect was aware that the money was intended for illegal armed groups created in Syria to commit crimes of a terrorist nature, the investigation said today. As part of the investigation, "measures are being taken to locate and detain the suspect," according to a statement on the website of the Russian Investigative Committee for Dagestan. The "Caucasian Knot" also wrote that in April 2021, the court found the residents of Dagestan Nurudin Abdurazakov and Rustam Kokeshov guilty of transferring money to militants in Syria. Both received three years in prison. |
