Shafaq News/ On Monday, the Central Criminal Court of Iraq (CCCI) sentenced a convict to life imprisonment for financing the terrorist group ISIS.

The Media Center of the Supreme Council of Justice stated: “The convict financed these gangs with a monthly amount of $40,000 by engaging in fraudulent business activities aimed at financing terrorism.”

The sentence was pronounced based on the provisions of Article 37 and with reference to Article 1/tenth of the Anti-Money Laundering Law No. 39 of 2015, as well as Articles 47, 48 and 49 of the Criminal Code.

Despite its territorial defeat in 2017, ISIS maintains a significant presence in Iraq through sleeper cells that engage in guerrilla warfare, assassinations, kidnappings and extortion to destabilize the region. They blend in with the local population, making them difficult to detect.
