Although the organization Daash relied on criminal acts such as oil smuggling and effects, as well as extortion, kidnapping for ransom to finance its activities, it also devised ways and new methods to raise money, surpassing the control and monitoring increased measures imposed by international intelligence agencies that.
Therefore, the masterminds of the terrorist organization the far succeeded in drawing new plans for the transfer of money across international borders without the use of traditional banking sector channels. In this context, Dr. Matthew Levitt points out, a researcher and expert at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said in an interview with «Middle East», that «the Saudi authorities informed the Working Group on Financial Action (F AT F - FATF), a specialized international organization combating money laundering and terrorism financing, that members of the (Daash) communicated with donors through (Twitter), and asked her to buy a pre-international payment cards (including pre-paid mobile phone or some stores cards in the United States), and then they send the details of these cards through (Skype) to organize supporters in Syria, in turn, sell them to try and send money to the organization. » Then there is the other issue of concern was the system «collective funding» crowd funding in the currency Alpetkuyenz bitcoins. The term «collective funding» to refer to the financing of a project or a particular case by collecting quantities of small of a large number of people amounts across usually resort to the Internet, as this practice may also take place outside the Internet, it can collect Fighters money from people they know .
I have used effectively collective funding system by opponents of «Daash» to finance the «Protection Unit Nineveh» which included Iraqis. He was behind the idea and former fighter American director in Libya, Matthew VanDyke, who trainings systems to create a «unity», and through his project, which he called «sons of the International Freedom» Sons of Liberty International, succeeded funded local Christian forces training operations against «Daash», starting of «protection unit Nineveh», as reported «island» report in February (last February).
In addition, the network «Sky News» TV reported last summer that the code pro's «Daash» talked about the coin «Alpetkuyenz» to fund the organization . And «Alpetkuyenz» is a kind of digital currencies are used to regulate the currency issuance and verification of the transfer of funds without resorting to any central bank encryption technologies. It is not clear yet whether the currency will become part of the tools to be adopted by the organization to finance its operations.
Then next to the above, depends «Daash» also on the system «hawala» old, who started the organization «Qaeda» its use since early 2000. The This system means informal money transfer value from one place to another without the need to convert or transfer these funds effectively, based on a network of brokers to send money immediately without proof paper. This is the system used, especially in Muslim countries, easy, but difficult to prosecute or followed by the appropriate equipment.
Using this system a person can convert money from one place to another by depositing funds with a local agent, be in touch agent last in abroad, and then it takes the latter concerned the payment of value to the recipient person on the spot, while the agents shall Faisvian their accounts at a later time. In this context, and according to Levitt, the Finnish authorities informed the «Working Group on Financial Action» that one of the common methods to send money to foreign fighters based on the use of offices have agents in the vicinity of the territory controlled by «Daash border areas».
(In April last) reported the «BBC» in an interview with «Abu Hajjar», one of the elements of «Daash», how they are being transferred large amounts of money between the various regulated areas, by putting in the car doors so that reached the money smuggled in some cases to 700,000 US dollars.
as well as the terrorist organization may resort to the traditional banking sector. In some cases, according to Levitt, deposited large amounts of cash in US accounts, was later converted to beneficiaries living near areas controlled by the organization. «As cash withdrawals in foreign currency from an ATM in these areas carried out and withdrew funds from bank accounts in the United States using bank cards, and in some other cases, it was these transactions coordinate very closely, where deposited large sums of money in the accounts followed immediately withdrawals from ATM got close to the (Daash) ».
This confirms Levitt that «(Daash) is also capable of access to banking services in Syria and Iraq, as tens of bank branches located in the disputed areas or controlled by, including branches of foreign banks and international. In Iraq alone, still about ninety operating branches in the provinces of Nineveh and Salahuddin, Anbar and Kirkuk, under the control of militants regulation ».
In addition, Levitt suggests that the US Treasury launched a joint program with the Iraqi authorities, banks, and other organizations of the international financial community to prevent «Daash »from the use of such branches. Banks also proceeded to the application of strict control measures in search of any evidence about financing «Daash» such as repeating the clouds, and the origin of conversion and amount transferred among other things.
At the same time, the Central Bank of Iraq has issued instructions to financial institutions to prevent transfers to and from banks, which are located in areas controlled by «Daash», while deliberately international banks that have regional branches in these areas to transfer their employees.
Finally, for «Daash» that also gets money by using mediators in neighboring countries such as Turkey. In this context, the deployment site «the Monitor» American interested in Arab affairs, last week, a report on the lifting of Turkey's restrictions on the maximum amounts that are being brought into the country, through the issuance of a new Customs Law on April 15 approved the entering and leaving Turkey with no money . According to the site, she asked the Turkish Parliamentary leftist opposition Umut Oran, the former deputy head of the main opposition party (CHP) in front of Parliament about the reason for changing the former Customs Act and the adoption of the new law, which would facilitate the suspicious financial transactions, increasing the risk of money laundering and financing terrorism and tax evasion. Here Levitt refers to «Turkey lies on the border with Syria is experiencing heavy movement of foreign fighters, and that the policies have let some of the financial gaps».
Finally, it may be targeting the financing of the terrorist organization sources have become one of the most important international coalition that created this regard EFG goals to combat the financing organization Daash in Rome. This effort may come a lot more than subdue extremist organization militarily fruits as cutting financial supplied lines will help to weaken it, and then prevent him from reaching the heart of the international financial system and to financial and supporters intermediaries who are ready to serve. * assets «Daash» Financial since its occupation of Mosul in June (June) 2014: 875 million US dollars. * total funds derived from taxes, extortion and the imposition of dues in Iraq: $ 600 million. * Total looted money from the Iraqi government banks: $ 500 million. * oil revenues: $ 100 million. * ransoms crimes kidnapping: $ 20 million. * Source: Rand Corporation - «New York Times»
