Doha Bank accused of terrorism


 Allegations of corruption of the course of justice appeared in the hearing of witnesses, in the capital, London, yesterday, Wednesday, in a case related to a compensation lawsuit filed by 8 Syrian refugees against the Qatari "Doha" Bank.

Ben Emerson, who represents four Syrian prosecutors, told the Supreme Court, "The intervention took the form of intimidation, pressure, illegal covert surveillance abroad, harassment and threats, and nightly visits by armed and masked men with the aim of pressure and attempting to provide bribes."
The claimants admitted to the court that they fled to the Netherlands after the Al-Nusra Front, which controls northern Syria, destroyed their lives and homes.
The plaintiffs accused "Doha Bank" in particular, for financing terrorist operations and transferring funds to the Al-Nusra Front, which the United Kingdom regards as a banned organization, while the bank denied any wrongdoing.
None of the eight claimants have been identified. Doha Bank has offices in London, which has allowed the case to be taken to British courts.
