Banca subterană a Europei. Ce este "Hawala" și cum se transferă peste granițe banii din activități criminale

An investigation reveals that the hawala money transfer system, while used for legitimate remittances, also facilitates organized crime activities across Europe. This informal system allows cash transfers without physical movement of money, making it appealing for both legitimate users and criminal organizations. Journalists tested the system, successfully transferring money without identity checks, highlighting its vulnerabilities. Authorities are increasingly focusing on intermediaries as potential weak points in combating illicit activities, as transactions often leave minimal official records.
