Moroccan Man Losing Citizenship for Al-Qaida Support

About this episode

Khalid Ouazzani faces citizenship revocation due to ties with al-Qaida and previous criminal activities.

Khalid Ouazzani, a Lees Summit resident and former U.S. citizen, faces the revocation of his citizenship due to his ties with al-Qaida. The Department of Justice accuses him of lying during his naturalization process and lacking good moral character. Ouazzani, a Moroccan national, pleaded guilty to bank fraud, money laundering, and supporting terrorists in 2010, serving 14 years in prison. His scheme involved funding al-Qaida through a fake auto parts business and sending money from selling his own business. He also swore an oath to the group in 2008. Ouazzanis links to al-Qaida date back to 2003, and officials claim he hid crucial information during his citizenship interview. This case is part of 12 nationwide, but no court dates have been set for Ouazzani. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
