MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS · CROSS-BORDER
Support in preparing information and understanding requests received. The institution retains full autonomy over its controls and decision.
WHERE THIS SUPPORT COMES FROM
Years spent across banking, payment institutions and Financial Crime exposed me to numerous non-routine transactions: cross-border flows, multiple parties and companies, different intermediaries, higher-risk jurisdictions, corporate structures, and reviews of source of funds and economic rationale.
Repeated exposure to these cases developed a practical method: map the transaction quickly, identify the points requiring closer attention, and determine which information and evidence are needed to reconstruct its logic.
This does not mean anticipating the outcome of an assessment. It means knowing where to look, which questions to ask and which connections to verify before reaching a conclusion.
A COHERENT NARRATIVE
One document rarely answers every question.
Who sends, receives and benefits.
Origin, accumulation and availability.
Economic rationale and contracts.
Countries and institutions involved.
Alignment between profile and transaction.
HOW I CAN SUPPORT
Organise information and documents, identifying gaps and inconsistencies before replying.
Translate the institution’s requests into verifiable points and coordinate an understandable response.
Support subsequent reviews without promising approval or bypassing controls.
WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
Contracts, statements, corporate records and evidence of funds are the starting point.
Quality emerges when parties, amounts, timing, purpose and geographies make sense together.
The explanation should remain reconstructable and supportable after the decision.
A REAL CASE, A PRACTICAL QUESTION
On 24 September 2026, EPPO Naples described suspected fraud involving training never delivered, more than €6.6 million from the ESF+-co-financed New Skills Fund and further tax credits. Proceeds allegedly also funded employees and suppliers. No conviction was announced.
What to checkA supplier payment explains destination, not whether the source was lawful. Reconstruct the requirement that generated the funding: are participants, hours, content and delivery supported by verifiable evidence?
Support with the file and evidence →On 16 July 2026, the US Department of Justice announced charges against two alleged members of a network said to have used about 45 shell companies and 140 bank accounts to launder at least USD43 million in investment-fraud proceeds. Charges are not convictions.
What to checkDo not assess each company in isolation. Connect directors, addresses, accounts, counterparties, flow velocity and economic rationale: when multiple entities perform the same function without an operational explanation, the network itself becomes part of the evidence.

Check whether structure and flows tell the same story →Cases reflect the status reported in the cited release. Practical questions are professional applications: no indicator alone establishes wrongdoing or automatically determines reporting, refusal or approval of a transaction.
SERVICE BOUNDARY
Support can improve completeness, consistency and the quality of communication.
Support cannot guarantee timing, approval, account opening or completion of the transaction.
