Terrorist financing behind religious charities

Three days before Indonesian Independence Day, police counterterrorism squad Densus 88 arrested a man identified as Dananjaya Erbening for his alleged involvement in terrorist activities in Bekasi, West Java. Dananjaya, an employee of state railway company (PT KAI), was affiliated with the Islamic State (IS) group in Indonesia as an active supporter. The police seized dozens of firearms and hundreds of ammunitions from the suspected terrorist. The police also suspect that Dananjaya is involved in terrorism financing, including managing crowdfunding operations under the Anshor Peduli Muhajir (APM) group on Facebook. The APM maintains multiple accounts as crowdfunding platforms for donations destined for Syria under the narrative of aiding the families of mujahidin (people who perform jihad) at the Al Hol camp.
