WhatsApp being used for terror financing in Europe
An European investigation has revealed that chat groups on the WhatsApp application are being used to transfer hundreds of millions of euros in cash worldwide, with the aim of funding terrorist organizations such as ISIS and organized crime. There is evidence that these transfers have been used to smuggle people and drugs. The group contains over 82,000 messages and employs an outdated system based on trusted brokers to arrange transfers without electronic registration or physical transfer of funds, making illegal financing operations easier and preventing detection through the SWIFT system. Although this system is illegal in many countries, it is permitted in the UK if the intermediaries are registered with authorities, highlighting its danger and its exploitation for financing terrorism and illicit activities globally.
