Jihadi John keeps his bank account after Treasury freezes assets of only a handful of Islamic terrorists

Official report shows just £50,000 frozen in accounts used by extremists fuelling criticism of Government over its failure to crack down on terror financiers

Excerpt:

Only six out of more than 600 British jihadists have had their bank accounts frozen under special terror laws, according to an official report.

The review also shows just £50,000 worth of assets was frozen in bank accounts opened by terror suspects operating in the UK. The amount was branded “remarkably low” by David Anderson QC, the Government’s independent reviewer of terrorism legislation and author of the new study.

Mr Anderson’s report into 'the operation of terrorist asset-freezing’ lays bare the Coalition’s failure to seize jihadists’ money under the Terrorist Asset-Freezing Act (TAFA) 2010.

His findings will be seized upon by critics who have complained the Coalition has failed to crack down on terror financiers.

2. Is that SOP? Did Bin Laden keep his bank account?

You might be right but it seems strange to me.

3. Don't think so aka not sure ; ) but, there are likely

exceptions made for some AROUND them so that the possibility they can be tracked remains.

4. There are also other explanations.

The independent investigator who conducted the report and others also seem to think it's unsatisfactory.
