The investigating judge writes in the order: «Funds to provide for the families of the attackers». Money was also collected in a parish in the center of Rome. In the interceptions: «Flour is not needed in Gaza, there is plenty of it»

A flow of money coming from the three Italian charitable societies and passing through Turkish associations it was intended for 19 other Palestinians (outlawed for Tel Aviv) present at Gaza, Hebron, Ramallah and Bethlehem “belonging, controlled or in any case connected to Hamas”, not only for “knowingly contributing to the activity of the terrorist organization in the civil and military components”. In addition to assisting orphans, one of the purposes for which the donation money was used was also indirectly «provide support for the families of people involved in terrorist attacks or prisoners for terrorist crimesthus strengthening the intent of an indeterminate number of Hamas members to adhere to the group’s terrorist strategy and criminal program, including by carrying out suicide attacks.”

Tomorrow and Wednesday the interrogations of the seven arrested

He is the Genoese investigating judge Silvia Carpanini to write it clearly in the ordinance that dismantled what, by those who investigate, is considered the Italian cell of the Islamic Resistance Movement, led by the imam of Genoa Mohammad Hannoun, now in prison. Between tomorrow and Wednesday he will be subjected to the guarantee interrogation together with the other six arrested. For the two fugitives, however, an international letter rogatory will be requested. That of helping the relatives of suicide bombers is another disturbing aspect of the investigation by the National Anti-Mafia and Anti-Terrorism Directorate, together with the rush in recent months to make any reference to the money transferred to Gaza disappear. «I deleted everything“, said Abu Falastine, nickname of Ra’Ed Hussny Mousa Dawoud, head of the Golden Dome of Milan, who defined the massacre in Israel on 7 October 2023 as “the beginning of our liberation”, when intercepted last June. «The old files have all been deleted – he assured a friend -, all receipts cancelled. Obviously I kept a copy and put it on a hard drive and left it with a trusted friend.”

Offerings in church for «The peace convoy for Gaza»

Who he is, this is still a mystery, but the investigations are not concluded. On the contrary. To be identified are the cell’s supporters, those who organized with Hannoun the transfers of money for Hamas, in one case also for Hezbollah, on trucks loaded with humanitarian aid. These are also connected to events organized in Italy. Even in church: on 22 February 2024 in San Lorenzo in Lucina, in the center of Rome, the «Peace Convoy to Gaza» initiative. The imam defined the testimonial Modestino Preziosi on Facebook as the “guarantor” of the IBAN and the initiative. Also last year, a contact from Hannoun revealed to him that he had prepared ten vehicles with 3-4 bags full of dollars, specifying that now in Gaza “no one wants flour anymore, because there is plenty of it”.

Relationships with two associations: approximately 720 thousand euros sent

The Police and the Financial Police have reconstructed the millionaire round of “zakat” – not just a simple act of charity for Muslims, but a real commitment to helping others who are less fortunate – at least 71% of the total intended to finance the military activities of Hamas. For the prosecution, therefore, also in support of the families of those who carried out suicide attacks. However, the hypothesis was rejected by the investigating judge in 2006. Three years earlier, however, today’s judge reiterates, Hannoun himself was in relations with people close to the Al Aqsa Foundation in Aachen, Germany, illegal due to its links to Hamas and for “the alleged financing of families of dead terrorists”. As well as the “Jenin charitable commitee”, under investigation by the Prosecutor’s Office of Rome and Genoa for 6oo thousand euros received from the charitable association of solidarity with the Palestinian people of Genoa and the Orphan care society of Bethlehem for the 120 thousand euros also obtained from the Abspp, as ascertained by the Fiamme Gialle.
