Terrorism Financing Prosecutions for November 2006
The latest available data from the Justice Department show that during November 2006 the government reported 3 new terrorism financing prosecutions.
The comparisons of the number of defendants charged with terrorism financing-related offenses are based on case-by-case information obtained by TRAC under the Freedom of Information Act from the Executive Office for United States Attorneys. (See Table 1)
When monthly 2006 prosecutions are compared with those of the same period in the previous year, the filings were down (-86 percent).
During the same period five year ago, there were no terrorism financing prosecutions reported.
The leveling out from the levels five years ago in terrorism financing prosecutions is shown more clearly in Figure 1. The vertical bars in Figure 1 represent the number of terrorism financing prosecutions recorded on a month-to-month basis. The superimposed line on the bars plots the six-month moving average so that natural fluctuations are smoothed out.
