Nursery schools – nothing is sacred in the cause of jihad. Children as human shields.

Some 150 parents are now also being investigated as well.

Nearly 200 dodgy Australian day care centres are shut down after police find links to Islamic State, bikie gangs and large-scale fraud

  • Almost 200 day care centres have been shut down in NSW alone since 2016
  • Suburbs in south-west Sydney were home to the worst-offenders
  • Four suburbs in the region accounted for 114 of all 180 shut-down schools

Almost 200 day care centres have been shut down in NSW alone as police investigate links to Islamic State, motorcycle gangs and large-scale fraud.

Suburbs in south-west Sydney were home to the worst-offenders, with four suburbs in the region claiming 114 of the 188 private facilities that were closed.

Police shut down 49 facilities in the Canterbury-Bankstown region, another 25 in Liverpool, 23 in Fairfield and 17 in Auburn.

In one case, the director of the supposed day care was intercepted at Sydney airport, believed to be on his way to fight alongside Islamic State.

Almost 200 day care centres have been shut down in NSW alone as police investigate links to Islamic State, motorcycle gangs and large-scale fraud

Hussain Dandachi, 28, was arrested in relation to a police investigation into a $27 million fraud syndicate and the funnelling of funds into Islamic State.

He pleaded guilty to supplying fake invoices worth more than $100,000 for children who were not in his care, and was sentenced to a minimum jail term of 10 months.

Another family day care was supposedly running in a house with no electricity, while a third address led investigators to an abandoned garage, The Daily Telegraph reported.

The closures have seen the number of NSW Family Day Care services slashed by more than half since 2016, from 420 to 197.

Alee Farmann was charged with knowingly directing the activities of a criminal group – in the form of his alleged Red Roses Day Care scam, which pocketed government subsidies

Handcuffed: Farmann was taken away by police after being arrested at his home

One source described a licence to run a day care centre in NSW as a virtual ‘licence to print money’.

The federal government is expected to save more than $674 million annually as a result of the investigation.

They will avoid paying out fraudulent applications for children who were not even students at the facilities applying for funding.

Last month, coordinated raids throughout the south-west led to the arrest of more than 20 people believed to be involved in running or facilitating fraudulent day care centres.

The syndicate is accused of going to extraordinary lengths to conceal the operation

Red Roses Family Day Care director Alee Farmann and two other females were charged for their involvement.

Some 150 parents are now also being investigated in relation to that case after it was determined parents had sold or provided their child’s information to the accused.

The NSW government has now implemented a similar process to approving applications for new facilities to Queensland.

Rather than the old online application and cross-checking process, potential applicants are now required to pass a mandatory face-to-face interview.

Here in Australia they will get a few month jail sentence, be released on bail after a few weeks because of “good behaviour” and are straight back in business of fraud and theft. A risk free business with only every now and then a few weeks comfortable holiday in jail.

But if they are a Kiwi, who may have been bought to Australia as a child, they are deported to NZ. Even if it is the first crime they have committed… If the custodial sentence is over 12 months, that’s it.. Sent back to NZ. How many of the mussies or Africans get deported?

Just 10 months for stealing $100k for ISIS? I’ve seen people go to jail for years for stealing much less than that. Not to mention isn’t funding a terrorist org a serious crime?

Btw, this is just a tip of the iceberg. Muslims were caught defrauding the govt in the US in numerous states using daycare centers and other nasty schemes.

This is why they shove the Islamophobia meme in your face to hide all the thievery, rape, terrorism they’re doing behind our backs.

All those involved in the Islamofauxbia industry should be locked up for subversive activities. I’m sure there are probably many thousands, perhaps millions of Muslims in the West engaged in similar activities that we haven’t heard about.

This is on top of the fake refugees, muslim/african migrants who pose as children in order to get free money/housing in Europe. When will the West wake up to this enemy within?

Millions of dollars in suitcases fly out of MSP, but why? (DUH)
By Jeff Baillon
Posted May 13 2018 04:00PM CDT

MINNEAPOLIS (KMSP) – For five months, Fox 9 has been investigating what appears to be rampant fraud in a massive state program.

This fraud is suspected of costing Minnesota taxpayers as much as $100 million a year.

The Fox 9 Investigators reporting is based on public records and nearly a dozen government sources who have direct knowledge of what is happening.

These sources have a deep fear, and there is evidence to support their concerns, that some of that public money is ending up in the hands of terrorists.

SUITCASES FILLED WITH MONEY

This story begins at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, where mysterious suitcases filled with cash have become a common carry-on.

On the morning of March 15, Fox 9 chased a tip about a man who was leaving the country. Sources said he took a carry-on bag through security that was packed with $1 million in cash. Travelers can do that, as long as they fill out the proper government forms.

Fox 9 learned that these cloak-and-dagger scenarios now happen almost weekly at MSP. The money is usually headed to the Middle East, Dubai and points beyond. Sources said last year alone, more than $100 million in cash left MSP in carry-on luggage.

The national, go-to expert on what is behind these mysterious money transfers is Glen Kerns.

“What we were interested in is where it was going,” Kerns said.

He is a former Seattle police detective who spent 15 years on the FBI’s joint terrorism task force, until his retirement.

“It’s an outright crime, it’s unbelievable,” he said.

Kerns tracked millions of dollars in cash that was leaving on flights from Seattle.

It was coming from Hawalas, businesses used to courier money to countries that have no official banking system.

Some immigrant communities rely on Hawalas to send funds to help impoverished relatives back home.

Kerns discovered some of the money was being funneled to a Hawala in the region of Somalia that is controlled by the al Shabaab terrorist group.

“I talked to a couple of sources who had lived in that region and I said, ‘If money is going to this Hawala do you think it is going to al Shabaab?'” said Kerns. “And he said, ‘Oh definitely, that area is controlled by al Shabaab, and they control the Hawala there.’”

He said when the money arrives, whether it was intended for legitimate purposes or not, al Shabaab or other groups demand a cut.

As Kerns dug deeper, he found that some of the individuals who were sending out tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of remittance payments happened to be on government assistance in this country.

How could they possibly come up with such big bucks to transfer back home?

“We had sources that told us, ‘It’s welfare fraud, it’s all about the daycare,’” said Kerns.

FOX 9 REPORTED ON THE FRAUD FIVE YEARS AGO

To better understand the connection between daycare fraud and the surge in carry-on cash,
you have to look at the history of this crime.

Five years ago the Fox 9 Investigators were first to report that daycare fraud was on the rise in Minnesota, exposing how some businesses were gaming the system to steal millions in government subsidies meant to help low-income families with their childcare expenses.

“It’s a great way to make some money,” Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said.

In order for the scheme to work, the daycare centers need to sign up low income families that qualify for child care assistance funding.

Surveillance videos from a case prosecuted by Hennepin County show parents checking their kids into a center, only to leave with them a few minutes later. Sometimes, no children would show up.

Either way, the center would bill the state for a full day of childcare.

Video from that same case shows a man handing out envelopes of what are believed to be kickback payments to parents who are in on the fraud.

When asked where the money was going, Freeman said, “I don’t know exactly where it went. But it adds up when you begin to look at how many people were involved.”

One recent federal case points to at least some of the money going overseas.

Fox 9 obtained video of Fozia Ali being sworn in as a member of the city of Hopkins Park Board.

“I will support the constitution of the United States,” she said.

As she was taking her oath of office, she was also under investigation for wire fraud and theft of public money.

“So help me God,” she said during the ceremony.

State and federal agents had already raided Ali’s daycare center in south Minneapolis. The business was suspected of billing the government for more than a million dollars’ worth of bogus childcare services.

“We found records that she was collecting a significant amount of money for a much larger number of children than were actually attending the center,” said Craig Lisher from the FBI. “We are aware that some of the funds went overseas, what she was cashing out, money from the business.”

When asked if he had any idea of what it was going for he said, “I can’t say.” When pressed if he can’t say or doesn’t know he responded, “I can’t say.”

Investigators analyzed Ali’s cell phone to track her activities.

She took a two-month trip from Minnesota to Dubai and then Kenya, staying at times in $800 a night hotel rooms.

She used an app on her phone to bill the state of Minnesota for childcare services while she was out of the country.

Ali pled guilty to the daycare fraud and in March started serving time in a federal prison. She declined Fox 9’s request for an interview.

10 DAY CARES UNDER ACTIVE INVESTIGATION

“We believe that there’s a scope of fraud out there that we really need to get our arms around and ensure that those dollars are going to kids that really need them,” Acting Commissioner for the Department of Human Services Chuck Johnson said.

He told the Fox 9 Investigators his agency has 10 day cares currently under active investigation for fraud.

Fox 9 has learned dozens more are considered suspicious.

Search warrants obtained by the Fox 9 Investigators show each one of the suspect centers has received several million dollars in childcare assistance funds.

According to public records and government sources, most are owned by Somali immigrants.

When asked if the Department of Human Services has any evidence to suggest this looks like organized crime, Johnson responded, “There’s a common pattern in how a lot of these are carried out, but beyond that, not something that I would directly categorize as organized crime.” (LOL it is organized crime)

Sources in the Somali community told Fox 9 it is an open secret that starting a daycare center is a license to make money.

The fraud is so widespread they said, that people buy shares of daycare businesses to get a cut of the huge public subsidies that are pouring in.

Government insiders believe this scam is costing the state at least a hundred million dollars a year, half of all child care subsidies.

“I don’t think half sounds credible,” Johnson said. “I certainly think that some of the schemes that we’re seeing and certainly the ones that we’ve brought forward already for prosecution involve millions of dollars. I mean this is not a small scale that we’re looking at.”

TRACKING THE MONEY?

Minnesota started aggressively going after daycare fraud in 2014. Back then, it was easier to track the flow of money.

The state would pay a daycare’s bill and within hours of the money showing up in the business’s bank account, funds were being wired to the United Arab Emirates.

Those wire transfers stopped after a few centers were busted.

Which brings us back to those mysterious suitcases at Minneapolis-St. Paul International.

In 2015, investigators documented $14 million in carry on cash. By 2016, it had mushroomed to $84 million. Then last year, $100 million.

A trend all too familiar to former terrorism investigator Glen Kerns.

Fox 9 asked him how likely it is that some of the money is going towards terrorism?

“I say absolutely, our sources tell us that. Good sources, from the community leaders,” he said. “My personal opinion is we need a nationwide task force to clamp down on this type of fraud.”

This crime is spreading. Sources tell Fox 9 fraudsters in other states are now using the Minnesota playbook to rip off millions of public dollars meant to help kids.

Gratefulness or lack of has nothing to do with the motivation behind their actions.

They are at war. In Islamic terms there is dar al Islam, the world that is Islamic, and dar al harb, the world Islam is at war with. Also in Islam is a verse that is attributed to Mohammad saying “war is deceit”. So what appears to be ungratefulness to you is the exposure of criminal acts of fraud which are acts cloaked in deceit in an effort to benefit Islam. Making false claims to be a bigger burden on government, essentially looting the government, is part of the stealth jihad.

The Left want so much to be rid of Christianity such that when Muslims come along and tell them things that sound like they hold the same values, which is nothing but taqiya, Islamic deceit, the Left begin salivating because they finally have a religious entity that could unseat Christianity. The Left want to be rid of Christianity, they are utterly blind to the realities in Muslim countries because people like Linda Sarsour tells them about an Islam that sounds perfectly acceptable… of course Sarsour is telling them a fairytale version of Islam.

So don’t be fooled by all the ungrateful Muslim… it’s just jihad exposed. If Islam continues to grow and is protected from being exposed then you can expect things to get much worse. We already see this across the EU.

What not clear about the leadership in the EU is their end goal. They aren’t blind to the chaos they have brought in and this chaos seems like exactly why they’ve been brought in. Many of those leaders seem like globalists. So do they want a one world order under Islam? Are they merely using Islam to hasten the collapse of the western world so they can step into power? The fact that there seems to be no accountability or concern for the nation’s citizens but this continued march toward some end goal reminds me of the theme in Star Wars where the Sith Lord manipulated opposing powers into a situation that put him into position of emperor over all.

To them it’s perfectly normal way to do business.

All Western countries MUST bring in laws that are rigidly enforced.. Any immigrant that comits a crime is deported. Don’t bother with prison sentences, unless it’s for murder, As soon as trial is cover and a guilty verdict given, it’s held over until the next available flight home…As for murder, do as China does, taken out back of court and given ounce of lead to the head.
