Countering Violent Extremist Groups, With Hans-Jakob Schindler

In this episode of “Financial Crime Matters,” Kieran talks with Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler, senior director of the Counter Extremism Project about the current violent threats posed by Islamic radicals, and right-wing and left-wing extremist groups.

Drawing on his expertise as senior director of the Counter Extremism Project and years of diplomatic service, Hans names the extremist organizations that currently threaten to unleash global violence.

While detailing some of the catalysts for the militancy of these organizations—including ongoing conflict in the Middle East and Africa, and political polarization in the United States and Europe—Hans also discusses what financial institutions and government can do individually and in concert to cut off funding to terror groups.
