Documenting money laundering indicators using OSINT – Investigating suspicious economic patterns in a manner that is forensically verifiable
Certain publicly identifiable patterns, such as unusually complex corporate structures, conspicuous property transactions or links to high-risk countries, may be relevant as indicators of money laundering in the context of compliance audits.
We carry out structured investigations into such publicly apparent anomalies and document the results in a manner that is forensically verifiable for further assessment by the client.

Our services
We investigate publicly available information relating to a relevant organisation or transaction for identifiable indicators of money laundering and document our findings in a manner that is forensically verifiable.
Typical areas of application
How a money laundering indicators check is carried out
Publicly available information relating to the relevant organisation or transaction is systematically screened for known patterns of irregularity, and the findings are summarised in a structured, transparent report.
Why is research into money-laundering indicators relevant from a forensic perspective?
Any abnormalities that are apparent to the public can provide important initial clues for a more in-depth investigation by the relevant compliance or investigative bodies.
A structured, documented due diligence process also helps companies to demonstrate that they have fulfilled their statutory due diligence obligations.
