The United States government has identified an alleged terrorist financier operating in Nigeria alongside other individuals and entities across Europe, the Middle East, and West Africa.
The individuals have been designated as financial facilitators for activities linked to the terrorist group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
In a statement issued on Monday, U.S. Department of State spokesperson Thomas Pigott announced that the new sanctions target three individuals and six entities accused of moving funds to support ISIS operations globally.
The actions reflect an aggressive push by the American government to choke off the international cash flows that keep terror networks alive.
Pigott stated, “Under the leadership of President Trump, the United States is dismantling ISIS’s ability to finance terrorism around the world. We are cutting off the financial lifelines from around the world that enable ISIS to fund attacks, support its regional affiliates, and threaten civilians, including religious minorities.”
