A new report by “Green Trend” led by Amrullah Saleh has accused Mirwais Azizi and Azizi Bank of operating a complex network that transfers illicit funds belonging to Taliban leaders out of Afghanistan.
The report claims that money belonging to Abdul Ghani Baradar, Sirajuddin Haqqani, Fazl Mazloom, and Hamidullah Akhundzada is being moved through this network to the UAE and other countries.
According to the report, cash transfers are conducted using special access at Kabul airport.
Ahmadyar Group, with special permits from the Taliban’s Ministry of Transport, packages money at night and sends it via Kam Air and Iran Air flights to Dubai or Tehran for investment in real estate projects.
The report also highlights the role of New Ansari Exchange, which has been sanctioned by the US Treasury Department for moving billions of dollars between Afghanistan and Dubai from 2007 to 2010.
The exchange is accused of being fueled by foreign aid, drug proceeds, and Taliban financial resources.
