Loreta Napoleoni govori o tome kako joj se ukazala prilika da razgovara sa članovima veoma nepristupačnih italijanskih Crvenih brigada - iskustvu koje je u njoj probudilo interesovanje za terorizam koje već dugi niz godina ne jenjava. Ona opisuje složene finansijske tokove koji su temelj održanja terorističkih organizacija i na veliko iznenađenje otkriva veze između pranja novca i Akta o patriotizmu u SAD.

Loreta Napoleoni: terorizam i njegovi zamršeni finansijski tokovi

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.
