    Mogadishu (HOL) - Somalia's military court has sentenced Hashi Garad Ali Aalin (Yahye) to ten years in prison for managing Al-Shabaab's extortion funds. Aalin, who joined Al-Shabaab in 2013, was found guilty of overseeing the finances in several districts within the Mudug and Galgaduud regions.

    Authorities captured Aalin on July 7 in the Barak Isse area of the Mudug region. The operation also resulted in the death of an individual named Hashi, who was killed during a confrontation with the Somali security forces.

    The prosecution disclosed that Aalin's role in the extremist group earned him a monthly payment of $150 to $200. This sentencing is part of the Somali government's broader campaign to dismantle Al-Shabaab's financial network, which has included numerous arrests and international sanctions.
