Consolidated text of Directive (EU) 2015/849 and Directive (EU) 2018/843 __________________________________________________________________________ Typologies - Trends FATF - Egmont Group TBML Report - NEW On 9 December 2020, the FATF and the Egmont Group published a new joint report on Trade-Based Money Laundering or TBML. TBML is a money laundering technique in which commercial transactions are used to conceal, convert or transfer illicit financial flows through commercial transactions. TBML uses the complexity of trade systems, in particular in an international context where the involvement of several parties and jurisdictions may hamper due diligence procedures. Based on its experience CTIF-CFI can confirm that this is an important issue. CTIF-CFI has found that TBML practices increasingly feature in files disseminated to the judicial authorities. Several trends, which are illustrated in CTIF-CFI’s annual reports, are confirmed at international level in the report published by the FATF and the Egmont Group. The aim of this report is to raise awareness of this issue, which is insufficiently known, among the public and private sectors. The report contains many cases illustrating how criminals use commercial transactions to move their funds. The FATF and the Egmont Group will continue their cooperation in order to develop risk indicators.
