Sources in Germany and Austria are reporting that Ayman Aly has been dropped as a subject in the ongoing criminal investigation into leaders of the German Muslim Brotherhood. As reported in earlier posts, German law enforcement is in the midst of a police investigation into seven individuals on suspicion of forming a criminal association and intending to commit a crime by obtaining funds for its “politico-religious and ultimately Islamist goals.” The major subject of that investigation is Ibrahim El-Zayat, the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in Germany and an officer in the Federation of Islamic Organizations (FIOE) in Europe, the umbrella group for the Muslim Brotherhood in Europe. Although Mr. Aly, a resident of Austria, is a close associate and fellow FIOE officer, he apparently is no longer part of this investigation.
