The Muslim Brotherhood are reportedly moving their headquarters from London to Austria due to a new investigation of the group by Prime Minister David Cameron’s government.
The Islamist group, which was named a terrorist entity by both Egypt and Saudi Arabia has come under increasing scrutiny in Britain and in various Arab countries.
According to a report on Saturday on the British Daily Mail website, the group decided to move its headquarters to Graz, Austria after Cameron launched a joint investigation by both its domestic intelligence agency MI5 and its foreign one, MI6.
The group had recently relocated it international office to above an out of business kebab shop in Cricklewood in northwest London.
Cameron announced on April 1 that his government was launching a probe into the Brotherhood’s activities in Britain and its links to terrorism.
“What is important … is to make sure we fully understand what this organization is, what it stands for, what its links are, what its beliefs are in terms of both extremism and violent extremism, what its connections are with other groups, what its presence is here in the United Kingdom,” Cameron told reporters.
The secretary-general of the International Organization of the Muslim Brotherhood, Ibrahim Mounir, denied the report that their headquarters was moving to Austria.
“I cannot imagine or accept to leave Britain for any other country,” Mounir told the Turkish Anadolu Agency by phone from London on Sunday.
He also denied that the headquarters was located in London, adding that decisions of the group are not made in the city.
“We do not need to leave Britain because we have not committed a crime or violated the law,” said Mounir.
“The authorities in Britain know this very well” and the Brotherhood is ready to cooperate with British investigators, he said.
