The money was moved using the hawala money transfer system, which is an informal method of transferring money without any physical money actually moving, used in the Arab world. It is sometimes described as a "money transfer without money movement." Also charged in connection with the operation were Khaled Baely and Hdidan Tamer Ramadan Ali. The inspector testified that other persons were also apparently involved in the money laundering operation – a certain Omar Azumi from Malta, residing in Manchester, as well as Murad Ali Al Forgani and Elhadi Mohammed El Wohashi. The inspector added that Zayed had told him of the difficulties encountered by Libyans when moving money around in the normal banking system.
