The Financial Intelligence Unit-India (FIU-IND) has marked more than 200 financial transactions in the country as “terror financed” with trails to foreign shores, in the current fiscal.
The agency has forwarded these Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) to other investigative and enforcement agencies of the country for necessary action.
According to sources in the Union Finance Ministry, the agency found that a number of Cash Transaction Reports (CTRs), which were subsequently categorised under terror financing, had money trails to certain Gulf and other foreign countries.
The FIU-IND has sent the reports to the Economic Intelligence Council (EIC), headed by the Finance Minister, to be subsequently forwarded to agencies like the ED, DRI, IB and the CBI for further probe.
The agency also sent almost 30 requests to its counterparts in other countries in this regard during 2008-09 to detect international networks financing terror modules in the country.
