A migrant in Ireland dubbed the “Dublin con man” by local authorities is now under investigation for using $112,000 of fraudulently obtained money to fund ISIS.

The man, who’s not been publicly named, is originally from Libya, but has been living in the Dublin neighborhood of Clonee.

Sunday World has the story:

“GARDAI [Ireland’s state police] are investigating links between a Dublin-based suspected fraudster and the financing of Islamic State. … “While Gardaí were investigating the fraud allegations they discovered potential links between him and the funding of the Islamic State group. “There are now concerns that the man is involved in financial crimes here to help fund the terror organisation. “The investigation is Gardaí investigate suspected financier at centre of €100k fraud probe at an early stage, but if convicted the man is likely to be jailed before being deported. “Gardaí have stepped up efforts to crack down on terror networks in the wake of recent attacks in the U.K. and other European countries. “There have been a number of arrests of individuals here in recent weeks as part of probes into links between individuals based in Ireland and Middle Eastern terror groups. “London Bridge terrorist Rachid Redouane married his wife in Dublin in 2012 and lived here for some time. “Gardaí arrested two men in Wexford and Limerick with suspected links to Redouane in the aftermath of the London attacks. “Both men had been using documentation in the name of Redouane, including a PPS number, but were not suspected of any involvement in the attack.”

Just a few weeks ago, local law enforcement stormed an apartment in South Dublin to arrest a Moroccan man who was suspected of money laundering. He was released — but shortly after served with a deportation order.

And before that, another man in Ireland was identified by local authorities as a possible ISIS recruiter. He was deported to Jordan. Meanwhile, police have just arrested another three men on suspected ties to Islamic jihadists.
