Italian authorities have arrested nine people suspected of raising millions of euros under the guise of charitable work and funneling the funds to organisations linked to the Palestinian militant group Hamas. Police and anti-terrorism prosecutors executed the arrests after an investigation into three associations that allegedly collected roughly €7 million purportedly for humanitarian aid, but which prosecutors say was diverted to groups connected to militant activities.
According to authorities, the suspects used methods such as triangulated bank transfers through organisations abroad to obscure the origin and final destination of the money. Police also seized more than €8 million in assets tied to the alleged operation. Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi said the arrests exposed activities that “pretended to be initiatives in favour of the Palestinian population” but instead supported terrorist networks.
Investigators worked with European partners to trace the financial flows and disrupt the complex network. The case highlights ongoing challenges in distinguishing legitimate humanitarian support from illicit financing schemes that may strengthen militant organisations, underscoring the importance of international cooperation and financial monitoring. :contentReference
