FATF - Regulatory perspective - Illegal Wildlife Crime

Financial Action Task Force adopts new standard on transparency in company ownership. “The new standard, announced on Friday by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), will make it easier for the international community to block corrupt officials and kleptocrats who use secretive corporate structures to exploit the global financial system.”

Reconsidering Anticorruption from a Regulatory Perspective (opinion). “Paradoxically, not only do rules not always help to combat corruption, but rules can breed corruption. In fact, corruption is often carried out because of regulatory controls.”

On the case: Identifying corruption by reviewing wildlife crime court cases (Report). “Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) involves organized criminal groups that operate successfully by involving officials in corruption. For agencies addressing IWT, reviewing historical cases can be useful for establishing knowledge and skills to identify missed opportunities and barriers when targeting higher-level organizers.”
