About

Rewards for Justice is offering a reward of up to $10 million for information leading to the disruption of financial mechanisms of the terrorist organization Hamas, also known as Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiya.

Amer Kamal Sharif Alshawa is the chief executive officer for Turkey-based Trend GYO, a Hamas-linked real estate investment fund. He has served as a board member on several Hamas investment portfolio companies.

As of 2018, Hamas elements held about 75 percent of Trend GYO’s issued capital. Additionally, Hamas planned to privately issue more than $15 million of Trend GYO’s shares to senior officials in the investment portfolio.

On October 18, 2023, the U.S. Department of the Treasury designated Alshawa as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) under Executive Order 13224, as amended. That designation blocks the assets of foreign individuals and entities that commit, or pose a significant risk of committing, acts of terrorism. In addition, the Order authorizes the U.S. government to block the assets of individuals and entities that provide support, services, or assistance to, or otherwise associate with, terrorists and terrorist organizations designated under the Order, as well as their subsidiaries, front organizations, agents, and associates.
