family of legendary somali singer saado ali file civil lawsuit against dahabshiil in US court

[menace]

@waraabe dee waa ku sidee..it's not like she killed anybody, she disagreed with you politically so therefore it's unnecessary to insult her when she's beneath you today
Btw @broke but woke are you that Dahir Culusow guy. This dude been talking abt it for a year
@SuldaanMethylamine , I am not sure but I thought I heard someone tell me one of her children is Issaq

Defendants are subject to personal jurisdiction pursuant to CPLR § 302. Dahabshiil repeatedly, regularly and deliberately transacted business in New York through a correspondent bank account that it used to transfer funds to al-Shabaab. Plaintiff’s claims arise from these transactions. This course of dealing shows a purposeful availment of New York’s dependable and transparent banking system and the predictable jurisdictional and commercial law of New York.

I never knew she had kids til now, but since she was married to an Isaaq before it's possible that the person suing Dahabshill is Isaaq.

Son of slain Somali political activist sues money-transfer business over bounty

The son of a Somali singer and political activist gunned down by Al-Shabab operatives last year is suing an international money-transfer company with ties to Minnesota for allegedly paying a bounty on her life.

The lawsuit comes more than a year after the death of Saado Ali Warsame, 64, a Somali icon who lived in New York and Minneapolis before returning to her homeland in 2012. Her longtime push for social justice included roles in pushing out the country’s military regime and becoming one of the country’s first female members of parliament. Her death was mourned from Mogadishu to Minneapolis.

The lawsuit may mark the first time a company has been sued for providing funding to Al-Shabab, said Joshua Arisohn, an attorney for Warsame’s 22-year-old son Harbi Hussein, who lives in Minneapolis.

Not long before her death, Warsame pointed her criticism toward Dahabshiil, Africa’s largest money-transfer business, which facilitates most of the $1.6 billion sent to Somalia each year. The company, which houses a subsidiary headquarters in Minneapolis, is widely used by Minnesota Somalis to wire money to relatives back home, but it has been under international scrutiny for a lack of security in how money is transferred — and to whom, including potential terrorists in Somalia.

Last year, the Kenyan government temporarily suspended Dahabshiil’s operations after an Al-Shabab-led attack at the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi in 2013. Several western commercial banks have ceased doing business with Dahabshiil, in part out of concerns over terrorist financing, according to the lawsuit.

Warsame was an outspoken critic of the company, writing a protest song playing off the business’ name, which means “gold smelter.” She instead called Dahabshiil a “blood smelter” and urged Somalis not to do business there. A music video by Warsame featured a rifle dripping with blood next to the company’s name.

According to the lawsuit, Dahabshiil “placed a multimillion-dollar bounty” on Warsame as a result of the song. She was killed in July 2014 by two Al-Shabab operatives in Mogadishu; they were sentenced to death and executed in May.

The lawsuit demands damages for pain and suffering by Hussein because of the loss of his mother. He declined a comment through Arisohn.

Arisohn, whose New York-based law firm has handled terror financing cases for nine years, said others could be out there.

“We are working hard to unearth all of the institutions who are financing terrorism, and I think it’s incumbent on the government and private citizens alike to investigate these matters and make sure that financial institutions like Dahabshiil are putting in place the safeguards that they are supposed to have,” Arisohn said.

Dahabshiil did not respond to a request for comment.

Arisohn said he intends to get the case to trial as quickly as possible on behalf of Hussein.

“It’s devastating whenever you lose a parent, but to lose your mother who was bravely trying to help a country in dire need and was assassinated, it truly is devastating,” he said.

Did they really do it?

Did they really do it?

His lawyers seem confident that they can prove their case. In the mean, they will attempt to damage Dahabshiil's reputation.. maybe forcing them to settle?

The old man Dhiigshiil himself?? No, he is in Hargeisa having drool wiped off his chin.

Does Dahabshiil conduct transactions for Alshabab all over East Africa? Yes, which is why they are the only money transfer company that operates without interruption in all areas held by Alshabab. The plaintiffs of this case only have to prove that Dahabshiil actively cooperates with Alshabab, also known as "providing material support". They don't have to have access to any tangible proof right now, because if the case goes through they will have a couple of months to look at Dahabshiil's books in the discovery process.

I expect a lot of crazy things to come out of this trial even if the plaintiffs lose
