(Brussels Times) The bank accounts of 295 terrorists are currently frozen in Belgium in an effort to prevent them from (aiding in) committing an attack.
During 2021, 21 measures were taken to freeze assets, based on figures from the Coordination Office for Threat Assessment (OCAD), according to La Capitale.
“These measures are reviewed every six months,” Sofie Decoster of OCAD said.
This action, which can be done after consultation with various services, is taken as part of the office’s fight against terrorism in the country, which explained that freezing financial resources is one of the ways to prevent terrorists from going ahead with planned attacks.
