FCPN Threat Assessment: Transnational Organised Crime

FCPN Threat Assessments are joint strategic products developed from the knowledge shared between FCPN members. They are designed for reporting entities under the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 and are publicly available.

The assessments include case studies, indicators, and learnings from operations FCPN members have been involved with. The assessments aim to assist in the detection of financial crime and identify disruption opportunities.

In its inaugural published paper, this Threat Assessment on Transnational Organised Crime (TNOC) from the FCPN looks at financial sector vulnerabilities in relation to the money laundering risk posed by TNOC groups in New Zealand – drawing on Operation Brookings, Ida, and Martinez as case studies – and to identify potential change, disruption, and prevention opportunities.
