Man charged with Financing Terrorism, Money Laundering

GOOBJOOG NEWS | MOGADISHU: The Attorney General has filed criminal charges against a man accused of financing terrorism and laundering money, in a case that underscores the government’s push to curb extremist funding networks.
Prosecutors allege that the suspect, Ramadaan Caydaruus Cali, transferred large sums of money through his personal bank account to support terrorist activities intended to undermine national security.
The Banadir Regional Court ordered Cali to be held in custody while investigations continue.
“The Office of the Attorney General remains committed to the fight against terrorism financing and money laundering,” the office said in a statement, vowing to hold all perpetrators accountable under Somali law.
The case is part of broader efforts by Somali authorities to disrupt financial lifelines believed to sustain militant groups operating in the country.
