Daw Meskine is the imam of the Clichy-Sous-Bois mosque and the secretary general of the French Council of Imams.

Meskine has been treated as an important figure in Franco-Islamic relations and interior minister Nicolas Sarkozy who has apparently consulted him in the past. [1]^{[ permanent dead link]}

On June 19, 2006 it was announced Imam Meskine and his son were arrested for laundering money linked to a terrorist organization. Many members of the French Islamic community saw the arrest as a provocation meant to interfere with state funding to the al-Najah Muslim High school. Some have linked the event to his criticism of the policies of Nicolas Sarkozy. ^[1]

17 other French citizens have been arrested in the operation.
