Jo Cox: Labour Mp and Thomas Mair

jo cox: Calling for cross-border collaboration with the private sector, the report by the Royal United Services Institute RUSI emphasised the importance of financial leads in investigations such as the one into the killing of the Labour MP, Jo Cox, by the extreme rightwing terrorist Thomas Mair, according to The Guardian. It emerged after the murder that Mair had spent approximately 500 purchasing manuals on the construction of bombs, the assembly of homemade pistols and issues of a journal published by a US neo-Nazi organisation. The report warns that the focus placed on Islamists has meant that counter-terrorist authorities tasked with looking into financing have made little attempt to understand how far-right individuals and groups raise funds. Where this activity occurs online involving electronic payments rather than anonymous cash payments, it could trigger a red flag' for financial institutions processing the related payments that may be useful to law enforcement, the study said. The group had a clear organisational structure and was believed to have been well-funded. The authors also bemoaned the lack of clear evidence in the public domain about the funding of National Action, thefarright group that was banned in 2016 after it celebrated Cox's murder.
