Four Uzbek nationals are being prosecuted in South Korea for terrorism financing. Between August 2024 and April 2025, the alleged leader transferred 4,267 USDT in seven transfers to Katibat Tawhid wal Jihad, an armed group based in Syria and listed as a terrorist organization by the UN and the United States since 2022. The case is notable for its reverse flow: the main suspect received cryptocurrency from the group, which was then converted into eleven used cars and two excavators totaling 170 million won, approximately 121,000 dollars, later shipped to Syria. Gwangju police reconstructed three wallets and a bank account opened in the name of the primary suspect’s wife, who was residing irregularly in South Korea since 2023. The trial continues in Gwangju with further arrests expected.
