AUTHORITIES are trying to determine whether the alleged Indonesian terrorist who was arrested in Marawi City was also a “financier” of the IS-inspired Maute group, a police official said on Thursday.
“We can’t determine yet if he is a financier. As we can see, the money found in him was not that huge,” Superintendent Vimelle Madrid, Philippine National Police (PNP) deputy spokesman, said as Muhammad Ilham Syahputra, 22, was presented to the media in a briefing.
