LONDON, Nov 28 (KUNA) -- More than 1,000 reports of possible terrorist
activity have been made by UK banks and financial institutions during the past
year, it was revealed here Wednesday.
The National Terrorist Finance Investigation Unit (NTFIU) said it received
1,088 tip-offs of suspicious transactions from alert financial workers.
Among them were 153 reports connected to a police investigation into an
alleged plot to blow up transatlantic airliners that was smashed in August
2006.
The vast majority of terrorism-linked tip-offs came from banks and
financial institutions, but lawyers, accountants and even casino workers also
provided information, NTFIU added.
The figures were revealed today in the first annual report into the
Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) regime by the UK Serious Organised Crime
Agency (SOCA).
The documents are one of the British Government's key weapons in the battle
against money laundering by terrorists and organised criminals.
Paul Evans, who is responsible for SARs at SOCA, said in a statement,
"Targeting the money is vital in the fight against both criminal and terrorist
activity.
"By following the movements of illegal finance, we build knowledge of
criminal organisations and hit them where it hurts," he added. (end)
