WE IDENTIFY ARMED ORGANIZED CRIME ELEMENTS IN GAZA FOR FUTURE REFERENCE AFTER THE END OF THE ARMED CONFLICT THERE

When the Gaza War ends, the armed clans will still exist, notwithstanding what the situation will be with HAMAS. I consider them to fit the textbook definition of organized crime, due to their criminal activities and use of violence to protect their geographical turf, much as gangs do elsewhere. Once peace occurs, in whatever form the endgame in Gaza delivers, compliance officers in European financial institutions who service Middle East clients should be on alert for their appearance at account opening, understanding that the source of their funds is the proceeds of crime.

These clans were recently identified in Middle East media; it is humbly suggested that compliance officers be aware of these family clans:

ABU SHAHAB
DUGHMUSH a/k/a DAJMASH
ABU TIR
ABU RISHA
SHAWISH BARAKA
