The UK Charity Commission is investigating the Al-Khair Foundation, a major Muslim charity, following the arrest of its director, Mohammad Yousef Hasna, on US charges. Hasna is accused of conspiring to funnel money and supplies to Hamas under the guise of humanitarian aid. US prosecutors allege Hasna used his senior role to provide financing and commodities to Hamas, manipulating documents to conceal the terror group as the beneficiary. He allegedly coordinated with Hamas leader Ghazi Hamad to transfer millions of dollars and divert aid, with the FBI concluding over £500,000 was "personally received" by Hamad. The Al-Khair Foundation stated it is cooperating with the British probe.
