    <p>Spanish police have claimed that investigating crypto is difficult after arresting a “crypto-jihadist” in Barcelona suspected of owning various crypto addresses linked to terrorist networks funding ISIS.</p>
    <p>According to <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Spain" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/spain.html">Spain</a>’s Ministry of Interior (MoI), the man was operating various <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> addresses linked to three international terrorist financing networks that fund DAESH — the Arabic acronym for <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="ISIS" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/isis.html">ISIS</a>.&nbsp;</p>
    <p>The ministry stated that the use of crypto as a financing tool “promoted by fully specialized crypto-jihadists severely complicate the investigations of the security services.”</p>
    <p>The MoI also emphasized the importance of international cooperation, calling it “<strong>one of the most decisive instruments to be able to neutralize these networks</strong>.” According to the ministry, the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="ISIS" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/isis.html">ISIS</a> network and its “large economic movements” meant that authorities needed to work closely with the French DGSI, the American FBI, the Swedish SÄPO, and Europol.</p>

    <p>Yesterday’s announcement claimed the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic served as a catalyst event for terrorists as they attempted to compensate for a “loss of personal mobility that was restricted in several countries,” by adapting to <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a>.</p>
