U.S. Treasury disrupts ISIS financing channels across Europe, the Middle East and West Africa, targeting facilitators accused of moving funds through MSBs, hawala networks and crypto services

OFAC designates three individuals and six entities under counterterrorism authorities, including France-based Miloud Abderrahmane, Syria-based Abdelhakim Boukich and his Bitcoin Xchange business, Türkiye-based Spider and Alkaram, and Nigeria-based exchange houses linked to ISIS-WA facilitator Mukhtar Adamu Muhammad. Treasury says the action targets financial connectors that help ISIS move money between regional affiliates and operational nodes, including through cross-border transfers, Syria-linked MSBs and West African bureau de change networks.
