PARIS (Reuters) - One of the leading imams in France's large Muslim minority appeared with his son before a Paris judge on Friday on suspicion of financing terrorism, a judicial source said.
Dhaou Meskine, secretary general of the Council of French Imams, and his son Malek were being investigated for suspicious movements of funds between bank accounts of Muslim associations they managed and several foreign countries, the source said.
They have not been able to explain the origin of the funds and are thought to have misused donations received by their organisations in a campaign to buy holiday properties in Normandy, the source added.
