Data - Financial Crimes and Human Trafficking
Using AML to Fight Human Trafficking: How Analytics Can Help Identify and Disrupt Modern Slavery
Human trafficking generates over $150 billion in criminal proceeds annually, yet most financial institutions have no idea their transaction monitoring systems already contain the signals to detect it.
The same AML infrastructure built to flag drug trafficking and terror financing can be extended to surface human trafficking indicators: structured cash deposits, funnel accounts, remittance patterns to high-risk corridors, and businesses with no legitimate activity. The data is already there. The question is whether organizations know how to look at it.
This session walks through how FATF red flag indicators map to existing transaction monitoring frameworks, what real trafficking investigations reveal about financial patterns, and how analytics platforms can be extended, without starting from scratch, to put financial institutions in the fight against modern slavery.
Practical, pattern-based, and grounded in real case studies. No advocacy jargon, just an analyst's view of a problem hiding in plain sight.
