A bank has maintained an account for a European charity for several years. The charity provides clothing to persons in need in various countries with active terrorists’ cells.
Which action by the charity indicates possible terrorist financing?
A.
The charity frequently withdraws cash from the bank
B.
The charity has branch locations located in various countries
C.
The charity receives cash donations primarily from European countries
D.
The charity maintains a bank account for non-business-related expenses
The charity frequently withdrawing cash from the bank indicates possible terrorist financing, as cash transactions are often used to conceal the source, destination, and purpose of funds. Cash transactions also make it difficult to trace the flow of funds and identify the beneficiaries. Terrorist financiers may use charities as a cover to collect and distribute funds for their activities, and may exploit the cash-based nature of charitable donations to avoid detection12.
