In 2017, more than 4,000 @ttent@ts were claimed by D@€ch worldwide, more than the previous year. Today, although the t€rr0ri$te organization no longer has a State, it still attracts volunteers to lead the fight, which it has financed for years thanks to political complicity and large donors.
After September 11, 2001, the Western counter-t€rr0ri$m€ worked to dry up the t€rr0ri$m€'s resources. But these ramparts prove insufficient, even useless, in the face of the economic and financial model put in place by IS.
War taxes, ransoms, racketeering, exploitation of agricultural resources, trafficking in antiquities, drugs and hydrocarbons constitute the main source of its wealth.
Unlike other organizations, D@€ch controls its own territories and develops alternative circuits. What are the coalition's responses to an enemy that is constantly renewing itself?
Response Filmed in Iraq, Turkey, London, Paris and the United States, this long-term investigation brings together former ministers, intelligence chiefs or security officials, investigators, business leaders with ISIS and employees in the territories that the organization has occupied.
