The Daesh terrorist organization is receiving upwards to $1 billion in profits annually for deliveries of Afghan heroin, the head of Russia’s Federal Drug Control Service (FSKN) said Friday, according to Sputnik News.
“According to our figures, the so-called [Daesh] is receiving up to $1 billion annually for delivering Afghan heroin,” Viktor Ivanov said.
In November, the FSKN stated that half of all heroin delivered to Europe through destabilized Iraq and some African countries is being transferred by Daesh militants. Drug smuggling is a renewable source of funding for the insurgent group, the watchdog suggested.
