Loretta Napoleoni: Economia întortocheata a terorismului

Terrorist organizations operate less on ideology and more on economics, constantly seeking cash to fund their activities. Groups like the Red Brigades ran operations with revenues reaching $7 million a year in the 1970s, equivalent to over $100 million today. A hidden economic system, intertwined with crime and money laundering, directly impacts the mainstream global economy. After 9/11, shifts in anti-money-laundering laws merely moved illicit flows from the US to Europe, revealing how closely everyday finance and terror are linked.
