The DPI study was conducted under the direction of Lina Khatib, Associate Fellow at Chatham House (The Royal Institute of International Affairs, London, UK). The study analyzes the extensive financial networks of the religious extremist group Hezbollah in Europe. The research was also supported by Anrike Visser, an expert on financial crime and terrorist financing. The analysis reveals both connections to globally active companies and the interweaving of legal and illegal business models. It draws on publicly available sources, including court records, corporate registries, and government reports.

The Documentation Centre for Political Islam takes a look back at the annual re-port in a final "Expert Talk" in 2023. DPI Director Lisa Fellhofer, together with the Chairman of the DPI's Scientific Advisory Board, Mouhanad Khorchide, will summarise the various focal points, publications and general issues in the field of activity. Among other things, reference is made to the example of the IVÖ, which shows how political Islam operates at community level.
Expert Talks and other videos can be re-watched in full at any time in the Documentation Center Media Library.
