Taxpayers' own money is being used against them, as the government doles it out in benefits to fraudulent claimers who use it to fund terrorism, the metropolitan police's counter terrorism unit has revealed.
Assistant Commissioner Terri Nicholson said terrorists were becoming ever more “innovative” in their attempts to smuggle much needed cash to their colleagues abroad in places like Syria and Iraq. She said as well as engaging in complex fraud, terror funding gangs often used women to smuggle large amounts of money abroad in the belief they were less likely to arouse suspicion.
Nicholson said: “We are seeing a diverse fraud, including substantial fraud online, abuse of the benefits system, abuse of student loans, in order to fund terrorism”. One apparently growing form of fraud is through the taking out of student loans, finance offered by the government for mass university education. Nicholson reported there were “a number of cases”, each one which could have netted terror gangs tens of thousands of pounds of taxpayers money.
The revelation came as part of 'National Counter-Terrorism Awareness Week'.
Although the groups were proving adept at taking taxpayer money, the Assistant Commissioner also highlighted that a number of charities were also being used as fronts for terrorist fund-raising, and well meaning members of the public were being duped into donating.
