WhatsApp Used for ISIS Fund Transfer
An investigative report revealed that a WhatsApp group used the remittance system to carry out illegal cash transfers amounting to hundreds of millions of euros, including funds directed to the terrorist organization ISIS in Syria. Relying on a network of intermediaries and conducting transactions without an electronic record allowed for the facilitation of terrorist financing and organized crime. The remittance system was also used to facilitate human smuggling, drug trafficking, and other criminal activities. Increasing challenges face authorities in tracking these financial flows, especially since the system is not always legally regulated in some countries.
