    I checked your links and the word "terrorism" isn't mentioned once. There a single mention of some Al Qaeda members having accounts but it's pretty far from "proof of financing terrorism".

      Good point, my bad, I got the impression that they serve "all kinds of crooks", so naturally thought of terror groups as well.

      I mean, they talk about arms dealers. Who exactly do you think is buying arms on the black market?

        The very same link sheds some light on that question too:

        "Time magazine reported that throughout 1981 and 1982, the Israelis reportedly set up Swiss bank accounts to handle the financial end of the annual multi-million dollars arms deals between Iran and Israel during the Iran–Iraq War."

        The vast majority of arms dealing is state-controlled, all terrorist groups combined aren't big enough to make a dent.

        And in any case, the original claim was "money laundering for terrorism" not the other way round.

They funded the Nazis with the help of the Catholic Church, did they not? Isn’t that a widely known fact? Or am I simply wrong?
