The Combined Effort Against Terrorist Funding
Operation Green Quest has worked along side other governmental agencies over the last eight years, upholding the rules and the regulations set out by the U.S. Patriot Act. Hundreds of investigations have been ongoing since the attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001, and have resulted in the seizure of millions of dollars laundered by terrorist cells, many arrests and indictments all relating to the activities of the financing of terrorist activities. This organization was created in October of 2001 by the U.S Treasury Departments. This is a law enforcement agency that combines the efforts of others in the United States as well as those agencies located in other countries. It was created to enhance the efforts of anti-terrorism and brings the entire scope of the expertise of the various governmental agencies together to attack the individuals and the organizations that provide the means and the funding for terrorist activities. Accounts are frozen, assets are seized and legal actions are taken against those organizations and individuals committing such crimes.
The U.S. Customs service leads the OGQ, and delegates analysts and agents from other agencies including the IRS, the ATF, the FBI and even the United States Postal Service. The center for the organization is located in the United States capital of Washington, D.C. The headquarters is also staffed with those members of the other agencies. This is where most of the information is collected, managed, and disseminated to the agents in the field throughout the country. This is where all the information is organized in order to ensure that one agency is not spending time working on the investigations and projects already in progress by one of the other agencies. Since its inception, the Operation Green Quest has had an existing field unit in Manhattan. This unit is made of investigators with experience in financial transactions and institutions. This is the El Dorado Force. More than two hundred and sixty agents of the IRS and the U.S. Customs office comprise one of the most successful task forces and one of America’s largest. Seasoned analysts, regulators and special agents all working under one roof to ensure that what happened in 2001 will not happen again.
