An Asset Tracer report was commissioned by our client, concerning a high-net-worth female POI, a socialite on the run, and subject to an Interpol red notice for her involvement in significant corruption by misappropriating public funds for her personal benefit. The large-scale international corruption offence saw the POI trading in state-owned oil, diamonds, and art worth billions. Asset Tracer as a foundation of the investigation, highlighted a significant UK property portfolio linked to the POI and her familial network; however, steps by a network of professional enablers and facilitators had obfuscated ownership via a blind Isle of Man structure. Many investigations end here; however, to get behind this firewall our team was instructed to dive deeper into the data with our Asset Tracer + product. Asset Tracer + uncovered her digital footprint, including accessible social media accounts for not only the POI but her family network under a series of pseudonyms, with family members often proving the chink in the armour with less diligent personal security considerations. By forensically capturing the rich tapestry of media, including videos, our OSINT analysts placed the subjects at the property by matching subtle architectural details in the fore and background to the publicly available property plans. This generated a credible body of evidence of association linking the family’s pattern of life to the UK property as a ‘centre of gravity’, including details of the POI children’s education and schooling in the South Kensington area. Our team were also able to provide near real-time updates on the POIs location detailing international travel despite the red notice via geo-positioned images. Asset Tracer+ is vital to support your legal teams in the forensic capture of globally sourced intelligence to build the strongest possible case to secure asset recovery.
