Speaking in response to today's guilty verdicts, Imran Madden from Muslim Aid said:**
“We welcome the conviction and sentencing of the individuals who were not Muslim Aid volunteers but used our name and property to collect funds illegally for their intended criminal activity.
We would like to reiterate that Muslim Aid is a victim of this fraudulent activity.
Muslim Aid appreciates the work of hundreds of volunteers who have supported our emergency response and poverty alleviation projects around the world, including the elderly and the homeless in the UK. "
