Mom Was Doing Her Son’s Laundry When She Stumbled Upon His Horrible ISIS Secret

After finding a significant amount of money in her son’s shorts while doing laundry, a mother discovered the intended recipient was ISIS.
The young man from Sydney, Australia, rolled on alleged co-conspirators Omarjan Azari, 23, and Ali Al-Talebi, 26, who have been charged with attempting to make $15,000 available to ISIS in August and September of last year.
The pair engaged a younger man they had met at the Parramatta mosque to take $9000 U.S. dollars to Western Union outlets across Sydney and make the transfer to ISIS, including to an account in Peshawar, Pakistan, The Guardian reports.
The young man decided not to go through with the transfer of cash, believing the Western Union fees were too high. He left the money in his shorts, where it was discovered by his mother.
Up to 7,000 pages of secretly recorded telephone conversations have been tendered as evidence to the court relating to the alleged conspiracy, according to the Australian Broadcasting Company.
The youth is cooperating with authorities and has been given immunity for his testimony against Azari and Al-Talebi.

In the preliminary court hearing, Magistrate Peter Miszalski quipped that the man had been involved in “laundering money” for ISIS.
Prosecutor Peter Neil SC responded: “Almost literally.”
The young man “was granted permission to give evidence remotely [last] Wednesday after the court received threats against him. Neil said there were elements of the community who considered anyone who ‘rolled over’ and cooperated with police ‘to be an apostate,’” according to The Guardian.
