Author of two reference books (“Muslim Brotherhood, the inner circle” and “The neo-Muslim Brotherhood in the West”), Lorenzo Vidino is one of the most prominent specialists on the Islamist Brotherhood in Europe. In this interview, he explains how the Muslim Brotherhood’s hidden real estate investments bring in tens of millions of euros every year.
The Islamologist Lorenzo Vidino, whose latest book ‘‘Muslim Brotherhood: the Closed Circle’’, has just been translated into French (Global Watch Analysis editions), has carried out a study, for the Austrian documentation center on political Islam, on the pan-European structures of the Muslim Brotherhood. Published last October, this study (co-authored with Sergio Altuna, 280 pages) constitutes an edifying document on the scale of the Brotherhood’s European tentacles, their mode of operation and their financing.
