💨 Abstract

Italian prosecutors arrested nine individuals suspected of financing Hamas through Italian charities. The suspects allegedly diverted around €7 million to Hamas-linked entities over two years. Police seized assets worth over €8 million, including €1.08 million in cash and Hamas-supportive materials. The investigation involved cooperation with Dutch authorities, EU countries, and Israeli intelligence. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni praised the operation, while pro-Palestinian activists protested, denouncing the arrests as repression.
