CASE STUDY (The Caribbean)

Everything you do at the poker table conveys information “Unpredictability”.

Identify the risk FINDINGS:

High-Risk unintended consequences

  • A director of a trust company business operating in Country X was approached to set up a discretionary trust by a solicitor in Country Y.
  • The solicitor advised Individual A, was acting on behalf of Individual B.
  • Individual A had received monies from the sale of a cash-intensive business, which was owned by Individual B.

Assess the level of risk CONTAINMENT:

  • The solicitor wished to hold the sale proceeds through an offshore trust. The solicitor sent through documents to identify Individual A, but none in relation to the ultimate client Individual B.
  • A few days later, over USD$500,000 was sent from the solicitor’s account to the trust company’s client account.
  • The trust was established with Individual A as the sole beneficiary and made the four payments as requested.

Understand the impact of the risk ROOT CAUSE

  • The High Court of Country X found both the trust company and the director of the trust company guilty of failing to comply with client identification requirements of the AML law, a decision which was upheld by the Court of Appeal.
  • It was held that Client identification procedures prescribed by the AML law must be kept up and that a single breach, provided that it was more than a mere oversight, is sufficient to constitute an offence.

Moving forward with confidence
