According to Rusdi, since the arrest of Parawijayanto (Amir JI) in June 2019, Densus 88 received the latest data related to the organizational structure, recruitment, and funding of the JI organization.
Starting from 2019, the deepening of JI’s efforts to obtain funding for the sustainability of the organization will continue to be carried out.
One of the results of this research is that there are two sources of funding for the JI organization, namely internal funding through infaq which is given every month from all members.
“The amount is about 2.5 percent of the monthly income of members,” said Rusdi during a press conference at the National Police Headquarters, Wednesday (11/17/2021).
