A couple of Iraqi citizens in Poland have been charged with financing the ISIS jihadist group, a report said on Tuesday.
This came following a years-long investigation into money transfers to a German man who had gone to Syria for the purpose of joining the insurgent group of ISIS, a local news agency reported.
Poland’s National Public Prosecutor’s Office explained in a statement that the pair, charged on December 14 in Poland's western city of Wroclaw, is accused of being involved in money transfers sent between February 2015 to April 2016 to a man and his wife in Iraq and Syria by relatives in Germany.
