Frédéric Compin, « Financing Terrorism and Money Laundering: Dangerous Liaisons or State manipulation? », L'Homme et la société, ID : 10670/1.654e9b...
Can the financing of terrorism be assimilated with money laundering when the amounts of money involved differ so markedly; the cost of financing terrorist attacks is minimal compared to the huge sums often at stake in financial crimes? There are also wide divergences in the profiles of terrorists, who are reclusive by nature, and financial criminals, who usually fully integrated members of society. Should one see a utilitarian approach at work when the financing terrorism is equated with money laundering since this facilitates the creation of a security strategy and prevents criticism of criminogenic capitalism that condones tax evasion?
