According to PwC’s 2018 Middle East Economic Crime and Fraud Survey, asset misappropriation, business misconduct and fraud committed by consumers are the three most frequent types of fraud crimes reported by respondents in the Middle East.

 

Anti-Money Laundering

The Middle East has its own special challenges in constructing anti-money laundering (AML) strategies. The region consists of various local and international banks, allows high levels of cash transactions through money service businesses, and its global trading hubs operate within geographical proximity to unstable or sanctioned locations, making AML operations more difficult to recognize.

 

Our criminal law experts have grown up in the Middle East, and their hands-on, personal knowledge and experience in the market allows us to address AML compliance and enforcement concerns affecting our clients, both locally and internationally. Our AML team advises clients on developing compliance programs and conducting compliance audits, while assisting in defense against enforcement actions by federal regulators, which includes conducting internal investigations and negotiating settlements.

 

We have substantial experience advising on AML compliance and governance issues and provide legal guidance to financial institutions, private equity and investment management firms, and other businesses with AML due diligence in a variety of corporate transactions.
