Hybrid threat networks are pervasive and insidious. They leverage human suffering for profit. These networks have successfully infiltrated our financial systems in all areas. In this session, we will build the framework for a new way to look at money laundering and even fraud detection by laying out the networks, geographies, players and mechanisms of these networks.

This session will lay out the terminology and concepts for how to detect and investigate hybrid threat networks in your operations. The training is a pragmatic approach to detect, understand and effectively investigate and prepare cases in such threat classifications that generate funds in Terrorist Finance, Drug Trafficking, Human Trafficking, Illicit Trade, Sanctions Evasion and Fraud schemes.
