Since the attack on Israel from Gaza, media covering terrorist financing have emphasized that the tens of millions of US Dollars and Euros transmitted to Hamas was a major factor in funding the Specially Designated Global Terrorist organization's extensive attacks, both using missiles as well as ground forces. Our sources have confirmed an increase in attention being given to the source countries where pro-Hamas and pro-Hezbollah elements have contributed substantial amounts of crypto to those terrorist groups.
One of the jurisdictions reportedly now specially targeted for attention to operational terrorist financing pipelines is the Republic of Malta, whose socialist government has long had diplomatic relations with the Palestinian Authority, and unofficially with Palestinian terrorist entities sanctioned by the West. The country's first Prime Minister, who held radical socialist views, and was close to the Communist dictatorships in power during his term in office. Malta has a substantial Arab expat community loyal to Hamas, which has long been suspected of terrorist financing, using crypto above all other items of value.
Longtime readers of this blog know that we have extensively covered the fact that both SUHA ARAFAT, the widow of Yasser, the ex-leader of the PA, and her daughter, live in Malta and have been given Maltese passports. They live an affluent life on a portion of the billions stolen by her late husband from EU funding intended for the Palestinian people.
While not covered in international media, there were recent arrests in Malta of terrorism suspects, although the country's law enforcement agencies have generally ignored the presence of individuals thought to be connected to international terrorism and terrorist financing. Whether this new investigative interest in the transfer of cryptocurrency to Hamas from sympathetic elements in Malta will result in any arrests, we cannot say, but we will be watching.
