[NYPOST] A machine gun fanatic living in the country illegally was charged Wednesday with supporting ISIS — after his ex-wife ratted him out for getting a ''sham'' green-card marriage to a Bronx stripper, The Post has learned.
Mansuri Manuchekhri, a Tajikstan-born truck driver living in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, funneled $70,000 to ''ISIS-affiliated individuals'' between December 2021 and April 2023 — believing that the money was going to the families of slain ISIS fighters, the feds charged.
He also allegedly boasted to his terror-sympathizer buddies overseas about his firearms prowess.
''Thank God, I am ready, brother,'' Manuchekhri, 34, texted a Turkish contact alongside a 17-second video of him firing an assault rifle at a target at a New Jersey shooting range, according to a federal complaint.
''I go for training at least once or twice a week,'' he boasted to the same man alongside a similar video, court papers allege.
Federal agents uncovered a photo on Manuchekhri's iCloud of him proudly pointing two AK-47 rifles into the air, court papers show.
The alleged terror sympathizer entered the country from Tajikistan in June 2016 on a non-immigrant tourist visa and remained in the country after it expired that December, authorities said.
He then married a Bronx stripper in a ''sham marriage'' in March 2017, yet his efforts to obtain legal status in the country failed because he failed to provide supporting documents, according to the complaint.
One of the men that Manuchekhri schemed to funnel the cash to was arrested by Turkish authorities for a terrorism attack car bombing on the Jan.28, 2024 Roman Catholic Church in Istanbul, the feds said.
Manuchekhri also told his ex-wife that he admired Sayfullo Saipov, the Uzbek national who committed an infamous terror attack in New York City in 2017, the complaint alleges.
Manuchekhri faces up to 45 years in prison on charges of conspiring to provide material support to ISIS, possessing firearms while unlawfully in the United States, and immigration fraud.
