Global Foreign Official List
WorldCompliance’s Global Foreign Officials List contains the profiles of individuals and companies, which between 1995 and 2010 were suspected or known to be involved in illegal activities relating to corruption, war crimes, arms trafficking and illegal diamond trading, or entities which served as middlemen or shell companies for such activities. The illegal activities particularly relate to Somalia, Iraq, Sudan, Angola, Liberia, Philippines, Guinea, and Congo. These profiles are unique and completely proprietary to WorldCompliance, this service is only available to governments and the top 20 financial companies in the world.
Over 4,000 individuals and companies are profiled in depth and detailed networks include Victor Bout, Jorge Krupnik, Arcadi Gadaymak, to name but a few. The entities derive from detailed analysis from court documents, magazines, company records and interviews. This extensive proprietary database provides the best protection possible from individuals and companies that may pose substantial risk to your organisation.
WorldCompliance has taken a pro-active approach to deliver best-in-class protection to its clientele. Starting in 2006, WorldCompliance assembled a special task force to reveal the networks and wrong-doings of some of the most powerful arms-dealers, drug barons and blood diamond traders. The results of in depth investigations are bundled in intelligence dossiers, which are then restructured into a uniform database format – the Global Foreign Officials List, to allow a systematic client screening.
