Problems of Identification and Suppression of Channels for Financing Extremist and Terrorism Activities

The purpose of this study is to study the problematic aspects in identifying and suppressing ways of financing destructive organizations. Terrorists are trying to legalize the receipt of funds under the guise of economic and commercial transactions. In order to identify such operations, it is necessary to conduct a serious analysis of economic information. So, if law enforcement officers know the ways in which money flows move and get to terrorists, they will be able to block the flow of funds to terrorist organizations, which is also an effective counteraction measure. To obtain the necessary funds, the creation of one-day firms is often used, which cease to exist after the transaction is completed. These firms help to cash out funds or, conversely, transfer them to cashless. An important point is that such money was obtained illegally, but it is no longer possible to bring such a company to justice because of its liquidation. It is established that information interaction between different structures plays a key role in the investigation of not only illegal financial turnover, but also crimes related to the financing of terrorist organizations and their activities. Many crimes are disguised as the legal activities of merchants, which greatly complicates their detection and investigation.

It is concluded that the terrorists have learned to falsify the data of employees allegedly working for them in a one-day company. The organization may employ people who actually have nothing to do with it. These are the so-called "dead souls". Certain amounts are received into the settlement accounts of these people as a salary, after that, with the help of various online services, "employees" transfer money to terrorists.
