🇿🇦🚓 A South African man accused of sending bitcoin (BTC) worth just over 600 to an Islamic State affiliate in Syria is set to be released from remand prison after a court approved his bail application. A Lichtenburg magistrate ruled that the state failed to prove Ziyadh Hoorzook was a flight risk, with bail set at 1,616 (30,000 rands).
Hoorzook denies the charge, claiming he didn't know the Syrian charitable organization had terrorist ties when he donated BTC. The alleged crime occurred in 2017, and he was only arrested at the start of this year.
Critics argue that prosecuting Hoorzook for a donation worth less than 1,000 is overly harsh. However, Pretoria sees this case as key to getting South Africa removed from the FATF grey list. 📜
