Illicit financial flows
Uncovering hidden financial flows: Investigating ownership secrecy, offshore real estate, and illicit finance to promote transparency and accountability.
The Illicit Financial Flows and Real Estate Program conducts cutting-edge research to better understand and combat illicit financial flows, including money laundering, cross-border corruption, and tax evasion. Our work also explores the key drivers behind offshore investments, particularly in real estate and cryptocurrencies.
Our research covers critical topics such as:
- Ownership secrecy and the impact of beneficial ownership transparency
- Offshore investment in real estate and cryptocurrencies
- Illicit trade, due diligence, and sanctions
- State capture and cross-border corruption mechanisms
- Money laundering dynamics and anti-money laundering policies
- Methods for analyzing leaked data and other unconventional data sources
