PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC) – The Trinidad and Tobago Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) believes an estimated 182 people here are involved in financing terrorist activities worldwide, the minister in the Ministry of the Attorney General and Legal Affairs Stuart Young, has said.
Young, speaking at the weekly Cabinet meeting on Thursday, told reporters that Trinidad and Tobago nationals may be involved in financing the activities of terrorist organisations such as the Islamic State (ISIS).
“What the FIU has picked up in their STRs (Suspicious Transaction Reports) and SARs (Suspicious Activity Reports) is that approximately 182 Trinidad and Tobago citizens, we suspect, may be involved in the financing of terrorist activities,” Young said.
Young said the total monetary value of the 739 STRs submitted to the FIU for this year was TT$805.5 million, representing a 127 per cent increase in the STR submissions to the FIU in 2015.
