FINTRAC publishes updated money laundering indicators aimed at combatting online child sexual exploitation
FINTRAC has published an updated Operational Alert providing financial institutions with new money laundering indicators to identify and report transactions linked to online child sexual exploitation. Developed through consultation with law enforcement, regulators, and industry partners, the alert enhances previous strategic intelligence to help the financial sector detect financially motivated offending and sexual extortion schemes. These updated indicators directly support Project Shadow, an international public-private partnership that has enabled FINTRAC to generate hundreds of financial intelligence disclosures leading to significant law enforcement actions and prosecutions.
