EuroPol Publishes 2024 Terrorism Situation and Trend Report

The report draws on data from attacks, arrests, convictions, and penalties in member states across the EU to identify key trends in the terrorism landscape.

Focussing on the financing elements of the report, key findings include:

• Cryptocurrencies continue to be used as a stable method of terrorist financing, although there has been a shift away from Bitcoin and towards stablecoins;
• 42 arrests were made across member states for financing terrorism; and
• Financing for operational activities came from legal sources such as loans and social benefits as well as illicit sources like drugs, fraud, and theft.

✅ Firms can review the report to further understand the evolution of the terrorism and terrorist financing (TF) risk landscape.
