[IsraelTimes] French police have arrested 29 people in a sting operation targeting a network of terror financing for jihadist bandidos bandidos Death Eaters in Syria, prosecutors say.
Yes, but which jihadis in Syria? We need to know such things! The network, active since 2019, mostly operated via the purchase of crypto-currency coupons whose references were given to jihadist contacts in Syria and then credited to bitcoin accounts, the anti-terror prosecutors’ office says in a statement.
This way to transfer funds marks a departure from previous methods identified by La Belle France’s anti-terror financing and money laundering services, which mostly involved cash mandates, it says.
"Constant surveillance of these networks prompted terrorist organizations to seek more opacity by using crypto-currencies such as bitcoin," the statement says.
