Methods of Terrorism Financing: Criminal procedural obstacles to the prevention of crime in Germany, Liechtenstein, Austria and Switzerland

While the measures and organizations to combat terrorist financing have already been adequately studied, little is known about the concrete modus operandi of terrorist financiers. This monograph deals with this research gap and shows which criminal procedural barriers and hurdles significantly impede the fight against terrorist financing, but also other criminal offences. In addition, suggestions for changes in the law are developed to enable a more effective fight against and prevention of crime.
