At Pathfinder Advisory, we support governments, institutions, and international organizations in addressing the growing challenges of transnational extremist and terrorist crimes. With decades of frontline and liaison experience, we help partners understand evolving threats, improve coordination, and strengthen legal and operational responses across borders.


🔍 What We Address?

  • Identifying extremist financing networks that exploit legitimate trade, charities, or remittances
  • Advising on prevention strategies for radicalization and recruitment in vulnerable regions
  • Supporting intelligence-sharing frameworks across borders to track movements of individuals or cells
  • Strengthening institutional capacity to detect and prosecute cross-border extremist activity
  • Offering expert testimony and advisory in cases involving terrorism-related crimes

🌍 Real-World Context in the Mediterranean & Beyond

  • North Africa & Sahel: Terrorist groups exploit smuggling routes across Libya, Mali, and Tunisia to finance operations through drugs, arms, and human trafficking.
  • Eastern Mediterranean: Networks have used ports and shipping lanes for covert movements of funds, weapons, and operatives.
  • Europe: Recent arrests in Italy, France, and Spain highlight how extremist cells often rely on diaspora communities, online platforms, and false documentation to sustain cross-border operations.
  • Case Study: The dismantling of ISIS-linked cells in the Mediterranean showed how terror financing often overlaps with organized crime — requiring a blend of legal, maritime, and security expertise.
