Be it a simple threat against a family to kidnap a son or daughter if a sum of money is not paid, or two or three armed individuals invading an organization’s facilities and demanding protection money, or your subsidiary’s management team reporting an approach by a militant or terrorist group for a regular payment to allow operations to continue in a safe environment, threat extortions continue to remain a problem. As the uncertainty of the world economy persists, the threat of extortions will continue to grow, ranging from simple threat extortions to more elaborate “war tax” demands. In addition, the payment of “war tax” in a number of jurisdictions has become an illegal activity, creating more issues for those trying to manage the threat.
The most important objective must be the safety and security of those at risk. A major element of assessing risk is analysis of the threat and establishing the credibility and capability of those making that threat. This is where ASI Global can bring its experience and expertise to bear in advising those facing extortion.
