(Cyprus Mail) Six Syrians suspected of financing terrorism have allegedly orchestrated the transfer of hundreds of thousands of euros, it emerged on Friday.
Investigation into the matter by the republic’s authorities is ongoing, following the release and re-detention of a number of suspects, first arrested in October.
On Wednesday, six individuals were taken into custody after being found to have transferred funds while under deportation proceedings, Philenews reported.
The daily has also named the terrorist organisation receiving the funds as Hayat Tahrir al Sham or HTS, formerly known as Al Nusra or the Nusra Front, an al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorist organisation operating in Idlib, Syria.
The suspects include a 44-year-old believed to be the HTS treasurer, his 29-year-old brother-in-law, his 36-year-old wife, and three other men aged 35, 38, and 44.
