A convicted rapist who was radicalised in prison funnelled more than £18,000 of taxpayers’ cash to Islamic State in his Syria homeland.
Tarek Namouz, 43, claimed Covid loans from Hammersmith and Fulham Council for his west London barbershop but sent the money to a terrorist friend.
Namouz came to Britain as a student and claimed asylum in 1996 to avoid military service. In 2014, while landlord of a pub in Finsbury Park, north London, he raped an 18-year-old woman.
