The system of counteracting and combating terrorist financing in Poland in view of the existing threats

Journal Title: Security and Defence Quarterly - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 4

Abstract

The article includes issues related to counteracting and combating terrorist financing in Poland in the context of existing threats. The regulations in force on the international level, and provisions governing these issues in the Polish legal system are both discussed. Based on data from the General Inspector of Financial Information (Generalny Inspektor Informacji Finansowej), the Ministry of Justice and National Prosecutors’ current efforts to combat the practice of the terrorist financing in Poland are summarised. The article shows the potential hazards for terrorist organisations, who use gaps in the Polish system to make attempts to transfer money for criminal practices. One aim of the publication is to attempt to answer the question whether Poland, to a sufficient degree, is prepared for combatting terrorist financing and whether it is able to do it effectively, taking into consideration the scale and character of existing threats.
