Bahrain Mirror: The Bahraini Public Prosecution Raised a list of charges against Bahrain's Shia spiritual leader Sheikh Isa Qassim, related to his religious duty concerning the Khums (alms) obligatory ritual practiced by the Shia, who represent the majority of the Bahraini population.
The charges raised against Ayatollah Qassim and two others include raising sums of money whose source they concealed while aware that they were illegally collected without a licence.
The prosecution claims that the defendants made deposits and withdrawals, purchases, allocations and distributions, to show that the sums of money were collected lawfully contrary to reality.
