Funds earmarked for Hamas are additionally arriving from Sardinia, seven million euros in funding from the Italian department of the European community of volunteer associations which are mentioned to be offering covert funding to Palestinian fighters.
The computer systems hidden in a cavity created inside a plasterboard wall, a number of USB drives, the Hamas flag, numerous informational supplies. And above all, cash, all in money, over 1,000,000 euros. The 17 searches carried out by the DIGOS (Italian Particular Operations Division) and the Guardia di Finanza (Italian Finance Police) instantly after the raid in the investigation into Hamas financing, which led to the imposition of 9 precautionary measures, including one for the president of the Affiliation of Palestinians in Italy, Mohammad Hannoun , have yielded numerous supplies that investigators describe as “notably attention-grabbing,” whereas they await the power to “open” the computer systems and cell telephones of these arrested.
Seven people had been arrested in the raid, whereas two others are fugitives, believed to be in Turkey and Gaza. Nevertheless, many extra are under investigation: over 20, including Hannoun’s members of the family, his spouse, and two kids. In keeping with the Genoa prosecutor’s workplace, which coordinated the investigation, they had been conscious of the true vacation spot of the funds raised and, not less than in the case of the kids, they could have often maintained contact with or transported the cash. Additionally under investigation are a pupil from the Lodi space, because the three computer systems hidden in the wall had been discovered in his residence; the director of the ‘InfoPal’ information company; Angela Lano, a 62-year-old journalist and orientalist from Turin, thought-about accountable for propaganda in Italy; and Mahmoud el Shobky, 56, who, in accordance with investigators, is the contact particular person for the affiliation accountable for elevating funds on the island, in Piedmont, alongside the Adriatic coast, and in Sicily.
And it is not out of the query that the listing might broaden in the approaching days, following preliminary hearings earlier than investigating choose Silvia Carpanini. They have not been scheduled but, however they’re prone to start Tuesday. Virtually all will probably be held through video hyperlink, apart from Hannoun, who’s being held in Genoa’s Marassi jail. The president of the Palestinian Affiliation, thought-about by investigators to be a member of the exterior department and the chief of the Italian Hamas cell, will meet along with his legal professionals in jail on Monday. Nevertheless, they’ve already made clear their protection line. The costs, say Dario Rossi, Emanuele Tambuscio, and Fabio Sommovigo, are “largely based mostly on proof and assessments, including authorized ones, from Israeli sources.”
Subsequently, exactly due to the provenance, “an actual and thorough evaluation of the content material and compliance with the constitutional, typical, and codified ideas governing the formation of proof will not be potential.” Primarily, there isn’t any proof apart from that supplied by Israel. The lawyer for Rahed al Salahat, arrested in Florence, agrees: “It’s sure that he collected funds from the devoted to donate them to charitable actions in Palestine,” explains Samuele Zucchini, “and the accusation of diverting these funds from such makes use of for terrorist functions is unproven.” The legal professionals then reiterate one other level raised by many near the Palestinian trigger. “The somewhat apparent danger is that concrete acts of solidarity with the tormented Palestinian inhabitants will probably be interpreted as acts of assist, and even participation, in terrorist actions, assuming that such a characterization will be thought-about right, and to what extent.”
Whereas awaiting the assembly between the suspects and the magistrates, the suitable is attacking the center-left head-on for its “silence on the problem. ” “The left ought to exhibit its dedication to safety,” says Undersecretary of Justice Andrea Delmastro, whereas the Brothers of Italy (FdI) are demanding that Ministers Piantedosi and Tajani present info on Hannoun, citing the opposition’s “superficiality” concerning the matter. These phrases had been rejected by Riccardo Ricciardi, chief of the 5 Star Motion in the Chamber of Deputies: “Probably the most sordid factor is that this proper is utilizing the investigation to clear its conscience for its complicity in the genocide. In the event that they need to discuss who funds Hamas,” he concludes, “allow them to additionally discuss Netanyahu, who’s now financing ISIS.”
