Follow the money

What has to happen before money approved for Syria reaches someone there, and how far each step is shown on the record. Every step, mark and date is from Chapters 6 and 10 as approved.

The route a payment has to travel

6 things in order, from a legal permission to money moving at a predictable cost. 4 have been crossed, 1 of them with a limit; 2 are not evidenced in anything the book retrieved.

The correspondent relationships

A payment needs a bank abroad holding an account for a bank in Syria. Each row is a relationship the record names; each column is what would make it usable, and the dot shows whether the record shows it.

ShownClaimed or partial, not shownNot set out

The card schemes

Memoranda, a roadmap, a licence and a conference come before a terminal that works.

From board approval to payment

Each grant the chapters follow, from the financier’s board to money disbursed. Where a cell holds more than one reading, each is a dot, in the order the record gives them.
