We all remember President Bush saying on September 9/11 right after the attacks - the United States of America are at war on terror. 20 years later on, everybody knows how the matter doesn't concern only the US but the entire world. This war against terrorism can be leaded from the ground, of course, but not only. Security experts understood during the last two decades the importance of fighting these terrorists organisations by cutting their oxygen off. This is what we call today the Financial war on terror. Just an exemple. During the last two decades, the terrorism has cost to the world more than 950 billion dollars. The question is, how much did these terror organisations need to finance terror acts all around the world. Between 2013 and 2016, international financial institutions alone were fined more than $10 billion for failing to meet AML regulations. This is why intelligence units all over the world decided to target the entire network. Not only the head of the snake. By eliminating him. But using all the financial tools to dry the terror incomes. To put down banks, NGOs, traditional markets involved into the terror funding. Without money, terror can't breathe, can't live, can't plan any attacks and step back. The UK government published that more than 42,482 cases of suspected money mule account activity were reported in 2019. Israeli Strike against the "Dayah" neighborhood hezbollah's infrastructures forced the shia terror movement to ask for a cease-fire in 2006. The aerial operation leaded by the US Coalition dried the oil well controlled by Isis and imposed them a financial loss of billions of dollars. But are Hezbollah and Isis still standing ? The answer is yes. As long as you let the terror organisation fund their actions throughout banks and NGOs, these strikes have a limited effect. That is why Counter Financial Crimes has been launched for. To find the links between traditional banks and Terror organisations. To reveal this link. To step down what seems to be "legal" financial operations. What governments all over the world are willing to do but have their hands "tied" because of bureaucracy, CFC has the capacity to denounce, speed the leak, target the financial terror network without any diplomatic interests through our Governors. The war on financial terror belongs to all of us. This is the force of the concept.
