His name is in all the newspapers of the world, Abu Muhammad al Jolani is the leader of the jihadist front that overthrew the regime of the Syrian autocrat Bashar al-Assad. A character known for the 10 million dollar bounty that the United States has placed on his head and for the links with Al Qaeda of his formation, Jabhat al-Nuṣra , at least until 2016.
Jabhat al-Nuṣra is the armed group that was active in Sardinia until May 2018 , when an operation was launched on the island and in Lombardy (about fifteen arrests) that stopped a flow of money intended for the purchase of weapons, medicines, vans and equipment used in the war against Assad. And in Olbia there are, according to investigators, the "white collars" of jihadism, businessmen who "walk around with a money counting machine kept in a briefcase".
The main character of this story is the Syrian businessman Anwar Daadooue. He is, according to the DDA of Cagliari, the "white collar" who raises funds for Jabhat al Nusra . The staff of the Digos of Sassari found a "representative office" opened in the Syrian city of Raqqa, the capital of the Black Caliphate until October 2017. Anwar Daadoue, 55, is not a character who goes unnoticed. In Olbia, until 2018 (when he disappeared into thin air), he was the owner of construction companies that obtained important public contracts. Daaodue carried out works in the former arsenal of La Maddalena (G8 construction site), inside the Costa Smeralda airport and the Mater Olbia and also in various locations in the Sassari area (Stintino) . He escaped arrest in 2018, but was stopped in Denmark and transferred to prison. He escaped from a cell in a Copenhagen penitentiary shortly before extradition to Italy. Anwar Daadoue's defenders (criminal lawyers Angelo Merlini and Donatella Corronciu) have always maintained that he is not a terrorist, but an opponent of the dictator Assad.
Last May, the Court of Cassation confirmed Daadoue's seven-year prison sentence (along with two other people) for supporting the terrorist organization Jabhat al-Nuṣra. Apparently, the businessman is currently in the Syrian city of Idlib, where the post-Assad government is taking shape.
