Round 5: TFTC designates ISIS facilitators and exchanges

The TFTC jointly designated six targets affiliated with the Islamic State (ISIS) that had provided a critical financial and logistical lifeline to its main branch in Syria, its Afghanistan affiliate (ISIS Khorasan), and its global facilitation networks. The three designated money services businesses played a vital role in transferring funds to support Syria-based ISIS fighters and provided hundreds of thousands of dollars of liquidity to ISIS leadership. This coordinated action further challenges ISIS’s ability to conceal its activities and finance its operations through key money services businesses and sham 'social welfare' front organizations.
