The charities secret cave

I mentioned in previous articles that what charities were able to collect during the past few decades exceeded tens of billions of dollars and the majority of those funds did not reach the goals for which they were collected, except in the narrowest of limits.

Nevertheless, the Ministry of Social Affairs did not subsequently prohibit the collection of donations to the needy in cash, tighten control over them, and prevent the establishment and joining of charitable societies for people unless they are of good conduct.

This means the great doubt of the ministry about the political and financial intentions of the majority of “those in charge of them after it was certain that some of its founders made huge fortunes for themselves, and they were never known to be rich, and one of them worked as sorcerer for expelling the jinn, for ten dinars per session and one of his sessions caused the death of the possessed.

I have noticed a phenomenon in Lebanon that is often found in all Shiite societies, clerics or others assigned to receive the khums money and transfer it to the religious authorities they represent. If one of these collectors dies, the money he had previously collected remains within him, and it cannot be returned to its original source without the consent of the heirs, and often remains with them, due to the difficulty of separating the deceased’s private money from what he received as one-fifth.

On the other hand, charity funds are collected by charities, and for years were deposited in their bank accounts or kept in cash and for years, they had the freedom to dispose of what they had collected, as there is no government oversight, no general assembly, not even an auditor, except for the conscience of “the ones in charge of them”, and in most cases it is not pure.

With the increase in external pressures demanding the control of the funds of charities, especially by the Americans after the September 11 events, and after it was proven that some were involved in financing terrorist organizations, the situation changed, and all charities fell under a microscope, prompting some of them to change their tactics after they were unable, as was the case before, to expand funding for any charitable activities or otherwise or to deduct a percentage of the fund for themselves, nor to finance any party prevented by  the Ministry of Social Affairs.

Therefore, the charity funds were directed to real estate and commercial investments registered in the names of trustworthy individuals, however, what scenario of the collector of the khums is repeated with them, and there is no way, of course, to file a claim to recover this money from them.

It is said that one of the associations has 25 registered investment buildings in the names of individuals belonging to it and the reason for resorting to this method is to hedge against the government over confiscating its bank balances.

It is known globally, and many governments that a large part of the Brotherhood’s money is managed by Yousef Nada due to the Brotherhood’s inability to open bank accounts in his name in banks of safe countries, except in the narrowest of limits.

The Brotherhood also does not want to keep any large sums of money in certain countries for fear that the authorities would confiscate them and therefore have no choice but to register them in the names of those belonging to the party, and risk the possibility of some of them stealing them, or transferring them to their heirs after their death!
