In no fewer than five regions, Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has detained financiers of the Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist organization. A total of six arrests has been made. “The Federal Security Service has carried out a joint operation with the Investigative Committee, the Interior Ministry, the Federal Financial Monitoring Service and the National Guard, and exposed a clandestine cell that was active in Moscow, the Moscow, Dagestan and Krasnoyarsk regions and the Khanty-Mansiysk autonomous region, collecting and transferring money to the Islamic State terrorist organization outlawed in Russia,” the FSB said in an official statement. Those detained had been involved in funding terrorist organizations in Syria. Communication means and payment tools that prove their illegal activities were seized from those detained.
