Global Terrorism Financing Report
Part 2 of the June Report
Hello, Insight Monitor subscribers, and welcome to Part Two of this month’s Global Terrorist Financing Report. This edition takes us deeper into the financial lifelines of armed groups across the Middle East and beyond. In Iraq, militants are turning to prepaid credit cards to evade detection. In Yemen, the Houthis face a mounting budget crisis as questions swirl around their involvement in drug trafficking. Meanwhile, Hizballah’s Captagon production in Syria continues to generate revenue amid regional instability. We also track global cases of ISIL support networks: from a terrorist financing ring in the UK to financial activity in Türkiye and Australia. Plus, a neo-Nazi terror plot in the UK highlights how violent extremists continue to seek weapons and funding. Finally, we wrap up with longer reads and research reports that explore emerging threats and illicit finance trends in greater detail.
Next week, I will be going live on Substack with my friend and colleague Stephen Reimer to discuss the new FATF report on terrorist financing. If you’re in the investigative, policy, or regulatory space, this is for you! You can register your interest at the link:
