Even conservative estimates find that the global business of transnational crime is valued at multiple trillions of dollars annually. This illicit economy relies on formal systems of commerce and trade, and the intersection between the licit and illicit presents the opportunity for interdiction. Opportunities for interdiction include stopping the movement of drugs, seizing money, or arresting a bad actor as they cross international borders.
If we have a good understanding of the individuals, companies, vessels involved, methods being used to transport, and the physical location of the goods being moved, we are well positioned to act against this illicit activity.
In this on-demand webinar, we:
- Highlight common illicit trade obfuscation methods
- Demonstrate how public corporate and trade data can help identify the networks of companies and people involved in these illicit activities
- Provide examples of using public data to uncover previously unknown illicit activity
