France on Thursday said the Paris attacks are likely to have cost no more than 30,000 euros ($32,000) to organise.
The attackers financed the assault by amassing several “tiny sums” which are hard to track, notably by using prepaid credit cards, Finance Minister Michel Sapin said. “The cost of these latest attacks, the financing of the attacks, represents a sum not exceeding 30,000 euros,” Sapin said. This means the attackers did not need to move any large sums of money during their preparations, he said.
