Investigation into Dar Alhekma Trust
The Times reported that London police and the Charity Commission are investigating the Dar Alhekma Trust (DAT), linked to Iran. The investigation, driven by a unit focused on terrorist financing, follows allegations of connections to Tehran-backed groups. DAT and the Abrar Islamic Foundation (AIF) deny any wrongdoing. The Charity Commission’s regulatory case against DAT and AIF is on hold pending law enforcement review. Concerns over Iran’s activities in the UK include accusations of assassination attempts and support for dissident suppression. British officials fear Iran-linked charities are exacerbating tensions related to the Gaza-Israel conflict.
