ISIS is using the same pr-2014 style in Mosul: Threatening people to pay by sending a message by envelope: "Pay or Die". They have
threatened businessmen, doctors, etc.
Three ISIS members were arrested today in Mosul before collecting their extortion.
Same situation in Mosul since 2003 is happening after the "defeat of ISIS" : ISIS. some Security force members, some PMU members, etc are all forcing people to pay protection.
Same problem: People can't repot such incident to the security forces as they fear their names will be leaked to ISIS.
People also can't report to the police or local authorities because simply they are paying the protection to them.
Another thing is happening is that certain tribes are controlling (Mafia Style) almost all the jobs and projects in the city, you can't work in certain area without having permission or relation (Wasta). Same problem, same corruption. I feel myself writing about pre-2014
IDP camps are controlled by some tribes who are affiliated with the PMU. No a penny can move without their permission.
