Seven people suspected of providing financial support to the Islamic State group in Syria have been arrested in Germany, the Federal Prosecutor’s Office announced today.
The seven individuals, four women and three men of German, Kosovan and Moroccan nationality, were apprehended in several regions of western Germany, according to the Prosecutor’s Office.
Searches were also carried out at 19 properties in Germany and one in the Netherlands.
Those arrested are part of a network operating via the messaging app Telegram, said prosecutors.
“Financial intermediaries were involved in the network, collecting funds and providing accounts or digital donation boxes,” they claimed. “These were then used to transfer the collected funds to IS members in Syria or to intermediaries named by them.”
