Chapter 1076 Secret Account
.From the beginning, Fan Dandan helped them to do the old business because of their cooperation with Jiang Lue. "The material business has made great profits due to several major stock market turmoils. At this time, Jiang Lue's security department's overseas investment was about 2 billion US dollars, and this amount of funds that were out of government supervision has become very important.
Over the years, domestic security departments have invested a lot overseas, especially in channels to obtain some sensitive intelligence. It requires a lot of money, so the role of this money is crucial. Whether it is buying informants or bribing foreigners from some sensitive departments, money is inseparable from money.
Jiang Lue was very grateful for Fan Wubing's strong support, so Fan Wubing could get news of many issues as soon as possible, and sometimes even knew earlier than the top leaders.
This time, because of the incident just now, Americans have begun to track and investigate some secret accounts overseas, especially those secret accounts that have contacts or contacts with Laden, which need to be investigated. Therefore, some secret accounts located overseas by intelligence departments of various countries need to be cautious at this time to avoid causing misunderstandings from Americans and even being deliberately attacked by them.
After all, many accounts are shameless, and Jiang Lue didn't want to lose all his family by relying on Fan Wubing to accumulate his family's fortune because of this. He would feel so distressed that he vomited blood.
Laden has a huge global terrorist network, and their accomplices cover Western countries and the Middle East and Africa. These countries or regions include Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Somalia, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Croatia, Algeria, Tunisia, Lebanon, the Philippines, Tajikistan, Kashmir, Kenya, the United States, etc.
Due to the influence of the induced incident, the spread of the toxins of international terrorism has attracted widespread attention and concern from governments and the international community. For a time, studying the issue of terrorism became a popular science. A number of research institutions emerged, and a number of academic works and papers were published one after another. Many experts discussed the roots and characteristics of terrorism from different angles such as political science, law, military science, sociology, behavioral science, psychology, and other aspects, and made suggestions for solving the problem of terrorism.
Governments threatened by international terrorism are increasingly regarding dealing with terrorism as an important task. Many new political parties and leaders in countries have regarded solving the terrorism problem as their own governance goal, and terrorism has become a conscientious problem that governments are determined to eliminate.
With the efforts of governments, special forces that scared terrorists were established, and decrees and policy measures to combat terrorists were implemented, which effectively curbed the unlimited rise of terrorists.
At the same time, many countries in the world have begun to seek international cooperation, convened a series of international conferences, formulated a series of bilateral and multilateral agreements, and promulgated many international opennesses against terrorism. The intelligence departments and counter-terrorism departments of various countries have cooperated closely and cooperated in concert, and a huge net of encirclement and suppression of international terrorism has been spread around the world. The international community is strengthening anti-terrorism cooperation, striving to form a strong global anti-terrorism alliance.
While speeding up the investigation of terrorist networks around Laden, the US government has taken a two-pronged approach to surround the bank accounts and cut off the lifeline of terrorists.
In addition to believing that Laden was behind the terrorist attack, the U.S. officials also suspected that Laden provided money and shelter to terrorists who exploded the World Trade Center building in New York, and was also a funder who attempted to assassinate former President Clinton.
Therefore, after the incident, one of the main measures of the United States was to cut off its financial channels by banning American companies from doing business with Laden's companies, freezing their bank accounts, and other means to cut off their financial channels to curb terrorist activities.
The United States believes that Laden buys weapons, trains terrorists to protect his organizations, and launches various attacks. It can be said that every step requires a lot of money. Although Laden has a huge legacy and assistance from certain institutions and supporters, this money is not enough to maintain terrorist activities for a long time. Laden's real source of living money is his enterprises and factories all over the world.
For Laden, making money in business and engaging in terrorist activities is one. According to Saudi officials, Laden has at least 70 to 80 named companies that can be used to cover up his terrorist activities.
Sudan is Laden's earliest base for business. US government documents say that after Laden arrived in Sudan ten years ago, he invested $50 million to establish a bank. The import and export companies and investment companies he opened almost cut off the export of locally produced bulk agricultural products such as rubber, cereals, scashita seeds and sesame.
In the Kenyan port city of Mombasa, Laden opened a fishing company. Terrorists have come to Nairobi many times in the name of the Tam Industry Company. They are actually trying to detect the security situation of the US embassy.
In the United States, there are many legal Islamic charities who complain that their reputation was unfairly tarnished by extremist actions. U.S. officials say some of their money ended up in Laden, some known in advance and some unintentional.
In order to cut off the funding sources of terrorists under Laden, the CIA established a Counter-Terrorism Center in the suburbs of Virginia to spell out his terrorist money network by tracking Laden's financial activities.
US intelligence officials said that Laden distributed his huge amount of cash into secret accounts of banks around the world, and part of the funds were invested in European securities markets for profit.
After mastering these situations, the CIA established a special agency at the Counter-Terrorism Center in the suburbs of Virginia to focus on tracking Laden's financial activities and try to grasp the financial source of his terrorism.
The spy put the bank account of Qualantaron. According to the intelligence provided by the agents, the U.S. authorities have officially frozen all funds considered Laden in the United States.
The United States also intercepted bank operation information through electronic technology and launched an electronic war on Laden's property. Through various means, they found some of Laden's secret accounts, and then used electronic technology to delete the accounts or change their balance of income and expenditure, so that Laden's funds in foreign bank accounts no longer exist.
It is understood that the relevant departments of the CIA, the FBI, the National Security Agency and the Ministry of Finance are also contacting similar agencies around the world to investigate Laden's
Some people also say that to understand a terrorist organization, you have to follow an ancient legacy and follow money just like the IRS investigating tax evaders.
Through tracking Laden's financial activities in recent times, US intelligence agencies have begun to gradually unveil the elusive figure.
"The cunning rabbit has three holes, ** is not so easy to deal with Jiang Lue said to Fan Wubing.
Just as Western countries were busy seizing and freezing Laden's property like they were exploring an ant nest, Laden said that they would check it out. He still had at least three independent financial alternative systems in operation.
.
After the incident, in order to cut off Laden's supply line economically, the FBI, together with Western countries to investigate and financial institutions, investigated Laden's funds circulation channels and investigated his secret accounts in overseas banks. This has become a second battlefield against Laden.
But many experts believe that Laden has spread its funds in the securities or fund markets, so it may not make much sense to only track down his secret account. Some American officials also recently admitted that Laden's organization is more financial and tenacious than expected. His gang can be reorganized soon after the network is cracked. Although the bank account is blocked, he can still obtain a lot of money from business and funding.
Laden has spread his money among hundreds of banks, companies and charities in fifty countries around the world. In order to evade tracking and prevent assets from being frozen by Western countries, Laden has also used underground banks active in Central Asia.
In order to quickly increase the financial resources of terrorist groups, Laden's investment in recent years has become more diversified, investing in whatever it can make money. It is said that for every can of soda sold in the world, Laden's wealth will increase a little. Currently, many beverages contain water-soluble gum arabic to prevent particles from precipitation. Most of this substance is made by a Sudan company, which is the company's major shareholder. He may have earned tens of millions of dollars.
Laden owns several companies in Saudi Arabia and Western countries, involving many industries such as construction, oil, manufacturing and gemstones. The U.S. official in charge of counter-terrorism affairs said that the United States is convinced that the main junction of Brazil, Argentina and Barra are the locations of terrorist activities. They obtain money through smuggling and other activities as funds for terrorist activities.
The West described Laden as the CEO and chairman of the terrorist group. He used his wealth to connect terrorist organizations around the world to provide financing to terrorist organizations in Asia, Europe and Africa, and also established terrorist military training camps in dozens of countries, providing continuous reserve troops for global terrorist activities.
Due to its strong funding, the Laden group is very generous in purchasing advanced weapons. US intelligence agencies have been seeking to buy nuclear weapons since eight years ago. At the beginning, Laden wanted to buy Russian nuclear warheads on the black market, but failed.
Experts pointed out that Laden has been committed to purchasing highly enriched uranium, the essential element for nuclear weapons. Although he may not be able to display nuclear weapons for the time being, it is not ruled out that he can make it one day. Laden's assistant met with a former senior official of a certain country to discuss the issue of purchasing highly concentrated sodium for US$1.5 million. They also negotiated with the Chechen guerrillas, trying to exchange 30 million US dollars and two tons of opium for twenty nuclear warheads. Then they planned to transform the nuclear warhead into a small suitcase nuclear weapon.
"There are currently at least four or five thousand people. In his arsenals throughout Afghanistan, from mortars, rockets, tanks and advanced stinger-type surface-to-air missiles, Laden's military strength is enough to rival a small country, and all of this is paved with Laden's money." Jiang Lue said to Fan Wubing, "After the incident, the FBI immediately launched an investigation. The results showed that terrorists did not spend much on this manufacturing incident, only 500,000 US dollars. Then, the FBI immediately launched an investigation into Laden's global economic network and financial channels. It also worked with many Western countries to investigate Laden's various accounts."
In fact, at this time, the finance ministers of the seven major industrial countries had reached an agreement through a conference call. They agreed to cooperate with the funds provided to terrorist groups and jointly freeze the relevant assets. Subsequently, countries and regions such as Sweden, Australia, Switzerland, Lebanon, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Russia, and Hong Kong also expressed their willingness to cooperate with the United States' action to seize Laden's assets.
Up to now, financial institutions in the United States and other countries have frozen approximately $100 million of alleged terrorist assets, and this account does not directly belong to ** or the terrorist organization under it.
However, the way Laden handles assets and operates wealth is much more complex and deeper than people think. Since Laden has spread its funds in the securities or fund markets, and there are countless various industries under the name of holding and indirect holding companies, it is tantamount to destroy Laden's economic nest, which is a complex and connected ant nest, and it will never be cleaned.
Some experts suggested that the US government hire hackers to investigate and seal Laden's account. The idea is good, but if hackers are allowed to enter the computer systems of banks and some financial organizations, it will cause a series of legal disputes and is also troublesome.
Just as the United States and other countries were trying to cut off Laden's economic lifeline, Laden calmly stated that even if the United States freezes all the property of the organizations related to him, it will not affect the jihad they will carry out.
He told a Pakistani newspaper that they had three, different independent financial systems, managed by people who loved jihad. These people were not hundreds, but thousands.
"The most important thing now is to properly transfer the funds in our secret accounts." Jiang Luei said to Fan Wubing.
Fan Wubing nodded. He was also considering this problem in his heart, but what he thought more was how to make these accounts more legal. After all, Americans did not have much courage to seize secret accounts belonging to the Chinese intelligence department at this time. After all, these are semi-public secrets. Who doesn’t have some secret accounts in other countries?
