(Yle) A man who left Finland to join the terrorist group Isis was the son-in-law and business partner of the imam of the Oulu-based Islamic Society of Northern Finland, Yle’s investigative journalism programme MOT reported on Monday.
As part of a programme on terrorism fundraising in Finland, MOT journalists found that those who have left the country to join Isis earned money through a variety of illegal and legal means, ranging from tax fraud to running pizzerias.
One of them was Taz Rahman, a Bangladeshi-born man who joined Isis and was later reported to have died in Syria.
He had co-owned a business with Oulu Imam Abdul Mannan, who is also from Bangladesh.
