Hello, Insight Monitor subscribers!
June brought a fast-moving mix of live conversations, research coverage, policy developments, enforcement actions, and real-world security events across the illicit finance and counter-terrorism space.
Before we begin, let’s remember the terrorist attack of July 7th, 2005, in London, UK. Last year, we wrote a retrospective analysis on the financing of the attack. You can read that analyis here:

Articles
We kicked off the month with a live conversation between Jessica and Steven Reimer to discuss the No Money for Terror conference, her forthcoming book, and Steven’s fieldwork in Ghana. We then dug into a new Research Read on the effects of ransom payments on terrorist activity in West Africa. Next, we broke down FATF’s latest plenary, where counter-terrorist financing remained front and centre alongside concerns about the use of mainstream digital platforms for illicit activity. We also looked at the Europol-led disruption of the AUDI A6 cryptocurrency laundering service and what it reveals about illicit crypto infrastructure, including a Canadian connection. Finally, we closed with an emergency Secure Line podcast on the Montréal incel attack, unpacking the attacker’s manifesto and the debate over how it has been interpreted in the aftermath.
