New York Woman Charged with Funding Palestine Islamic Jihad
Prosecutors say Catherine Beth Washburn sent about 80 cryptocurrency transfers totaling $30,116 to a Gaza-based PIJ fighter and led an anti-protest group.
- On Tuesday, federal authorities arrested Catherine Beth Washburn, 37, of Irondequoit, New York, charging her with attempting to provide material support to the Palestine Islamic Jihad, a designated foreign terrorist organization.
- Washburn led the Direct Action Movement for Palestinian Liberation , a group formed after the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks on Israel, which prosecutors say rejects peaceful protest in favor of "direct action."
- Financial records show Washburn made approximately 80 cryptocurrency transfers totaling $30,116 to an account used by a Gaza-based fighter, according to the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force.
- Before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark Pederson on Tuesday, Washburn made her initial court appearance; she faces up to 20 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted.
- U.S. Attorney Michael DiGiacomo said Washburn went to "great lengths" to finance violence, driven by "her self-described hate of Israel and Jewish people," underscoring federal commitment to stopping terror funding.
