Criminal and mafia organisations entrench themselves in the local fabric long before they draw national or international attention. Often, the first material alerts come from local sources – “adverse media” – long before the parties involved appear on blacklists, watchlists or in official reports. For this reason, timely and systematic monitoring of open sources is an indispensable tool for effective due diligence and for safeguarding the business

Adverse media linked to Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) is integrated with secondary identifiers from PEP Target Worldwide™ for a comprehensive view and reduced false positives.
PEPs
Collecting data strengthened by Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs), State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs), and Public Sector Entities (PSEs), related to subjects who have been entrusted with a prominent public function, their family members, and their close associates.
Due to PEP access to, or influence on, public funds, they are subject to a higher risk of being involved in corruption, bribery, or other financial crimes.

Turning data into actionable intelligence
Having access to the right data is crucial — but true compliance intelligence comes from knowing how to use it. Understanding, contextualising and linking information allows you to transform raw data into meaningful insight, streamline investigations and elevate your AML operations from simple access to real decision intelligence.
Data is the foundation.
In every due diligence process, data are the cornerstone for identifying relevant datapoints and uncovering potential elements of risk. Whether it’s a politically exposed role, an adverse media event or a sanctioned entity, the quality and granularity of the underlying data determine the precision of screening and the reliability of outcomes.
From coverage to categorization.
We continuously invest in expanding coverage and refining categorization, ensuring that our datasets capture not only a global dimensions but also the local nuances that are critical in complex AML assessments. Our aim is to provide compliance professionals with structured, contextualized information that supports confident and timely decisions.
Making data linkable for real intelligence.
Beyond completeness, the real value lies in linkability — the ability to connect entities, relationships and events across multiple sources. By making our data inherently linkable, we enable users and software solutions to map networks, detect hidden connections and enhance risk profiling. This approach turns data into actionable intelligence, strengthening every stage of the compliance process.
