In an article published by Estadão, our lawyer Lilian Aguiar, specialized in Compliance and Investigations, analyzes the concept of the ultimate beneficiary and the challenge in the fight against corruption. From a quote in a document published in the US that seeks to prioritize efforts to reduce corruption, she seeks to characterize the ultimate beneficiary, whose concealment as a business owner contributes to money laundering schemes.

The article mentions the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF/GAFI) and the Financing of Terrorism (PLD/FT), bodies that promote international anti-money laundering policies. It is also mentioned the law for the prevention of money laundering (Law 9.613/98) and the establishment of the COAF (Council for Financial Activities Control) and the ENCCLA (National Strategy to Combat Corruption and Money Laundering) as measures and regulations to reduce corruption, including the duty to identify the ultimate beneficiary.

Lilian also discusses the advantages of analyzing the ultimate beneficiary to prevent risks, as well as some other measures that help in the fight against corruption.
