MOGADISHU, Somalia — A Somali woman has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for financing Al-Shabaab, laundering money, and supporting terrorist activities, authorities said Monday.
The Banaadir Regional Court convicted Nadiifo Hassan Abdulkadir Abdulle following a case brought by the Office of the Attorney General. Prosecutors presented evidence showing that Nadiifo transferred $1,237,010 through her bank account, funds that were used to finance terrorism, launder money, and support al-Shabab’s operations.
In addition to the prison term, the court ordered a $20,000 fine, the closure of her bank account, and the confiscation of all assets held in the account to be handed over to the Somali government.
The Office of the Attorney General emphasized its commitment to combating terrorism financing and illegal money laundering.
“All those involved in such dangerous activities will be held accountable under the law,” the office said in a statement following the verdict.
