JeM Uses Digital Wallets to Fund Terrorist Activities
Imagine a group called JeM that the government and others are trying to stop.
Because it's hard to use regular banks, they're using digital wallets, like those on your phone, to collect money secretly.
They're also asking for donations at mosques and online, saying the money is for good things.
They want to build 313 new camps by raising almost 4 billion Pakistani rupees, claiming it’s for religious places.
The money is collected through digital wallets managed by family members and online to avoid getting caught by those watching for illegal activities.
They're also getting money from abroad.
This way, they hope to keep their activities going without being stopped.
Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) is reportedly raising funds using digital wallets and mosque donations to support terrorist activities.
JeM aims to build 313 new camps, with funds allegedly disguised as construction for mosques and community centers.
Digital wallets such as EasyPaisa and SadaPay are being used to evade scrutiny from organizations like FATF.
Masood Azhar's family manages multiple digital wallets, transferring funds and replacing wallets to avoid detection.
JeM is soliciting funds through social media and from Pakistani citizens living abroad, claiming the money is for constructing the camps.
