Millions of Tax Dollars Spent by USAID Fund Terrorism, Investigation Reveals

Recent investigations by the Justice Department and U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia have uncovered alarming misuse of funds by the U.S. Agency for International Development Office (USAID), with millions of tax dollars being diverted to fund terrorism.

One such case involved Syrian national Mahmoud Al Hafyan, who illegally diverted over $9 million of taxpayer money through USAID to armed combatant groups, including the Al-Nusrah Front (ANF), a designated foreign terrorist organization affiliated with al-Qaida in Iraq.

According to USAID’s Office of Inspector General, this case represents one of the most significant diversions of humanitarian aid funded by USAID. Al Hafyan, who led an NGO in Syria, misappropriated food kits meant for refugees and sold them on the black market to ANF commanders, falsifying documents to cover his tracks.

Other Cases of Misuse of USAID Funds

Aside from the Al Hafyan case, several other instances of fraud and misuse of USAID funds have been prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia.

For example, a former executive of a digital consulting firm in Delaware paid a $100,000 settlement to resolve allegations of submitting false claims to USAID for government contracts. Another global health nonprofit organization from San Diego paid nearly $550,000 to settle claims of submitting false claims to USAID for grants.

In a separate case, the International Rescue Committee paid $6.9 million to settle allegations related to a kickback scheme involving USAID-funded programming in Syria. Additionally, a former NGO official was sentenced to prison for paying bribes in exchange for procurement information related to NGO contracts partially funded by USAID.

These cases highlight the importance of ensuring proper oversight and accountability in the distribution of taxpayer-funded aid to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands or being used to support illicit activities.
