FIU CONNECT – Environmental Crime

To combat environmental crime, financial intelligence must be gathered from a variety of sources. If the compliance function at financial institutions is able to detect and report on suspicious transactions to the authorities, illegal deforestation, illegal dumping of hazardous waste and the exploitation of wildlife can be greatly reduced.

Through detailed case studies, examples and red flags, the FIU CONNECT (Environmental Crime) training program advises participants on suspicious financial patterns that may indicate the trafficking of illegal environmental resources.
