Client
An international counterterrorism coalition working in collaboration with regional authorities in Latin America.
Challenge
To trace the intricate financial mechanisms behind the a terror finance scheme, uncover the network of shell companies and intermediaries involved, and provide actionable intelligence to dismantle the operation without disrupting legitimate businesses.
Overview
Our team was tasked with uncovering the financial mechanisms of a Middle Eastern terrorist group suspected of laundering funds through Latin American real estate investments. The mission required deep expertise in supply chain analysis and financial forensics to trace the intricate web of transactions.
Approach
Using ground-breaking supply chain analysis tools, we mapped out the flow of materials, funds, and entities connected to suspicious real estate developments. By analyzing transactional data and ownership records, we identified shell companies and intermediaries funneling illicit funds into Latin American properties. HUMINT sources on the ground provided critical context, confirming the group’s involvement and its ties to specific assets.
Outcome
Our investigation exposed a sophisticated laundering network, linking the terrorist group’s financial operations to multiple high-value properties. This intelligence enabled local authorities and international partners to freeze assets, dismantle the network, and curtail the group’s financial capabilities.
This operation underscores our ability to integrate supply chain analytics with intelligence expertise to combat complex global threats, protecting economies and enhancing security.
