Illicit financial flows

The Illicit Financial Flows and Real Estate Program conducts cutting-edge research to better understand and combat illicit financial flows, including money laundering, cross-border corruption, and tax evasion. Our work also explores the key drivers behind offshore investments, particularly in real estate and cryptocurrencies.

Our research covers critical topics such as:

• Ownership secrecy and the impact of beneficial ownership transparency

• Offshore investment in real estate and cryptocurrencies

• Illicit trade, due diligence, and sanctions

• State capture and cross-border corruption mechanisms

• Money laundering dynamics and anti-money laundering policies

• Methods for analyzing leaked data and other unconventional data sources
