Terrorist Fund Raising

Duncan Lewis Terrorism Solicitors – Terrorist Fund Raising

Terrorism is not a single offence but a number of offences, which involve initiating, preparing or committing acts of terrorism.

Terrorist fund raising is a terrorist property offence prosecuted under the Terrorism Act.

Under the Terrorism Act, fundraising for terrorism includes:

• Inviting people to donate money to a terrorist organisation
• Receiving donations
• Contributing to terrorist funding, including making gifts and loans to a proscribed organisation.

Under the Terrorism Act, failing to disclose information about terrorism to the police – including fundraising, money laundering or use and possession of terrorist property – is also an offence.

Defending terrorism cases – including fundraising for terrorism – is usually complex and involves forensic evidence and often witness statements.

Details of financial statements and transactions will also be seized – and assets will be frozen under a Restraint Order while an investigation is conducted, often causing hardship to individuals and their families.

It is vital to seek legal advice from Duncan Lewis as soon as an allegation of fundraising for terrorism is made – Duncan Lewis terrorism solicitors can advise before a charge is brought, including if there is a possibility of interview under caution relating to raising money for the purposes of terrorism.

Terrorist fund raising charges may involve cross-border activities and jurisdictions outside the UK – Duncan Lewis has successful departments with in-house experts able to advise on International law, Finance and Immigration law, all of which may be relevant in a case involving fundraising for a terrorist organisation.
