Two can play that game. While today’s criminals continue to get more sophisticated, law enforcement can also use the same innovations to their advantage. For example, transnational criminal organizations can move money into shell companies around the world from a cell phone. However, investigators can use geolocation information obtained from that same phone to locate their suspect. This panel will explain how law enforcement can use publicly available information to bring down illicit financial networks.

You will learn how to:

• Analyze open source intelligence to uncover previously unknown relationships and true beneficial ownership
• Investigate social media accounts to confirm a suspect’s identity, location and assets
• Examine cyber-related information such as IP addresses to determine patterns of behavior, including use of the dark net for illicit activities
