Abstract

With the rise of the Islamic State and the corresponding war in Syria, which has caused an international refugee crisis, the combat of terrorism has, again, become a major goal for European authorities. One popular approach to the combat of terrorism is to interrupt the funding of terrorist organisations. Whereas other studies have focused mainly on the implementation of prevention measures, this study investigates terrorist financing methods from the offender’s perspective with a focus on so-called money transfer systems to reveal weaknesses in the regulation of terrorist financing in general and money transfer systems in particular. For this purpose, qualitative interviews with 15 presumed providers of illegal financial services and 15 European compliance experts were conducted. This paper has implications for law enforcement, regulatory authorities, investigators and financial service providers. Innovative measures such as the use of electronic surveillance and expanding the jurisdiction of undercover agents are suggested.

通过汇款系统资助恐怖主义
随着伊斯兰国(Islamic State)的崛起,以及相应的叙利亚战争引发了一场国际难民危机,打击恐怖主义再次成为欧洲当局的一个主要目标。打击恐怖主义的一个常用方法是中断对恐怖组织的资助。尽管其他研究主要关注预防措施的实施,但本研究从罪犯的角度调查恐怖主义融资方法,重点关注所谓的汇款系统,以揭示一般恐怖主义融资,特别是汇款系统监管方面的弱点。为此目的,对15个假定的非法金融服务提供者和15个欧洲合规专家进行了定性访谈。本文对执法部门、监管机构、调查人员和金融服务提供者具有启示意义。建议采取创新措施,例如使用电子监视和扩大卧底特工的管辖权。
