Belgium:Alleged former Palestinian terrorist and terror money-launderer is located in Liège

The La Libre Belgique also reveals that Said Al-Shurafa has received asylum and has been living with his wife and their four children since 2011 in Liège, close to the famous Jupiler Brewery. He opened a Facebook account under the assumed name of "Zayed Zayed " where he posted his picture clearly showing that he lives in Liège and indicating that he is a student at the University of Liège. His Facebook account was "precipitously closed", when he became aware that the New York lawyers had found his whereabouts (see below). According to the newspaper his Facebook page showed that Said Al-Shurafa has "very strong emotional bonds" with Gaza as hehad been posting anti-Israel propagande during the Protective Edge operation in Gaza, including a video glorifying Hamas and numerous photos of Palestinian children killed during the operation.  It is amazing that with such a background and behaviour he was granted asylum in Belgium.

Two key witnesses whose knowledge of the Bank of China’s alleged former money-laundering for Palestinian terrorist groups could break open the major case, were recently located in Belgium, according to a report in the La Libre Belgique newspaper. 

The two were identified as Said al-Shurafa, an alleged former Palestinian terrorist, and his wife, Reem al-Shurafa. The Jerusalem Post received an authenticated English translation of the article (the story has not been reported yet in English or Hebrew media) filed by the Bank of China in the New York federal court case against it.

The plaintiffs in the case – the Wultz family

Daniel Wultz

who lost their son Daniel Wultz at the Rosh Ha’ir restaurant terrorist attack in Tel Aviv in 2006 – have asked the Belgian government to compel the two to testify in the case. The La Libre Belgique article, as well as a New York court document affidavit of former Israeli government agent Shlomo Matalon, accuse Said of being “an operative and agent” of both Islamic Jihad and Hamas. The report and the Matalon affidavit say that between approximately the early 2000s and 2008, funds were transferred from Iran, Syria and other places to Said’s account with the bank in Guanzhou, China, where he lived at the time. Said then transferred the funds to Islamic Jihad and Hamas, according to the report and the affidavit. According to the article and a letter from the Bank of China to the New York court, the Wultz family, including their lawyer, Lee Wolosky, lost a first shot to go after the Shurafas in Belgium itself. Subsequently, the report and a letter from the Wultzes’ lawyers indicate that the plaintiffs are trying to file a Letter Request for Judicial Assistance to Belgium to present the Shurafas for testimony relating to the New York court case.

The La Libre Belgique report says that the newspaper spoke to Said and his Belgian lawyer, who dismissed any charges and any legal process to compel him to testify as doomed to fail after winning the first round in Belgian courts. It also said that Said was deported from China in 2008 and received asylum and has been living in Belgium since 2011.
