# **"Al-Rawi Network"** - The **"Al-Rawi Network"** is one of the key financial backers of the terrorist organization **ISIS**. - The **Al-Rawi Network** began its operations in the **financial services sector** in the early 1990s to help **Saddam Hussein**'s regime circumvent sanctions. - **Saddam Hussein**'s regime used financial service companies, including those owned by the **Al-Rawi Network**, to avoid using the official banking sector when buying and selling oil. - Since then, the **Al-Rawi Network** has transitioned to supporting **ISIS** by facilitating **financial operations** globally through traditional **money laundering techniques**, such as **clearing transactions**, **aggregation**, and **cash smuggling**, to obscure the origins of **ISIS**'s **illicit funds**.
