Related Techniques
- Offer exposure to non-traditional or lightly regulated asset classes, providing criminals with less visible avenues to place illicit funds.
- Complex fund structures and limited disclosure avenues hinder straightforward identification of origin or ownership of injected money.
• Entities like hedge funds and private equity often operate with high thresholds and minimal public reporting, allowing large amounts of illicit capital to enter undetected. • Complex fund structures, sometimes layered through multiple shell entities, obscure beneficial owners and hamper effective AML inquiries.
- Permit the setup or use of hedge funds, private equity, or other lightly regulated vehicles where illicit proceeds can be commingled with legitimate capital.
- Exploit complex structures and cross-jurisdictional operations to circumvent AML scrutiny, hiding the true beneficial owners.
- Criminals can collude with fund managers to fabricate performance reports, describing illicit proceeds as legitimate fund subscriptions or redemptions.
- Exploiting hedge fund structures across multiple jurisdictions conceals beneficial ownership, complicating AML investigations.
