Nowadays, terrorist groups act anywhere in the world, which forces those financing them to enter into the financial system, at some point. The aggravating circumstance here is that members of these groups, usually carry out purportedly lawful activities involving low amounts of money, which cannot initially be considered suspicious. This feature demands acting in coordination with other bodies, directly related to security and intelligence.
Under this framework, the financial system is used intensively to move money through long distances. Unlike in classic terrorism, the financial approach towards blocking the flow of funds to activists is of utmost importance. However, the financial system is not, in this case, the only scenario.
