Monday 4, August 2025 {HMC} The Banadir Regional Court has issued an arrest warrant for Ramadaan Caydaruus Cali after the Office of the Attorney General filed criminal charges against him, alleging involvement in terrorism financing and money laundering.
According to a statement released on Sunday, prosecutors presented preliminary evidence suggesting that the suspect funneled large sums of money through his bank account to support terrorist activities aimed at undermining national security.
“After reviewing the initial report, the court ordered the suspect to be held in temporary custody pending the completion of the ongoing investigation,” the statement read.
Neither the court nor the Attorney General’s Office disclosed further details regarding the amount of money transferred, the dates of the transactions, the destinations, or the recipients.
Somalia’s National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) has recently intensified efforts to dismantle al-Shabaab’s financial networks. In recent months, the agency has shut down nearly 20,000 online accounts and hundreds of bank and mobile money accounts linked to the group, based on intelligence about illegal financial transfers.
The Attorney General’s Office reaffirmed its strong commitment to combating terrorism financing and money laundering, warning that anyone involved in such activities will be held fully accountable under the law.
