Presentation transcript:

Case Study 1 The German company prepays the Brazilian company for the shipment. The Brazilian company immediately transfers the funds to a third party that is unrelated to the transaction. The soybeans that were purchased by the German company are never shipped. A Brazilian company signs a contract to export soybeans to a German company

Case Study 1 Case Study 1 : Key In this case, the German company transferred funds to the Brazilian company as an advance payment for a shipment of soybeans. Suspicions were raised when it was found that exports of soybeans were inconsistent with the Brazilian company’s regular business activities and the size of the reported shipment was inconsistent with the scale of the company’s operations.

Case Study 2 A criminal organisation exports a relatively small shipment of scrap metal, but falsely reports the shipment as weighing several hundred tons. Commercial invoices, bills of lading and other shipping documents are prepared to support the fraudulent transaction. When the cargo is loaded on board the ship, a Canadian customs officer notices that the hull of the ship is still well above the water line. This is inconsistent with the reported weight of the shipment of scrap metal.

Case Study 2 The cargo is examined and the discrepancy between the reported and actual weight of the shipment is detected. It is assumed that the inflated value of the invoice would have been used to transfer criminal funds to Canada

Case Study 2 Case Study 2 : Key In this case, the criminal organisation appears to have intended to over- invoice a colluding foreign importer by misrepresenting the quantity of goods. Using the international trade system, the criminal organisation would then have been able to transfer illegal funds back into the country using the trade transaction to justify payment through the financial system.

Case Study 3 An alternative remittance system (ARS) operator (e.g. a “Hawaladar”) in the United States wants to transfer funds to his Pakistani counterpart to settle an outstanding account. The US operator colludes with a Pakistani exporter, who agrees to significantly over-invoice a US importer for the purchase of surgical goods. The US operator transfers funds to the US importer to cover the extra cost related to the over-invoicing.

Case Study 3 The Pakistani exporter uses the over-invoiced amount to settle the US operator’s outstanding account with his Pakistani counterpart. The Pakistani exporter additionally benefits from a 20 percent VAT rebate on the higher prices of the exported goods.

Case Study 3 Case Study 3 : Key In this case, rather than simply wiring the funds to his Pakistani counterpart, the US operator convinces a Pakistani exporter to over-invoice a colluding US importer. Using the international trade system, the US operator was then able to transfer the funds to settle his account using the trade transaction to justify payment through the financial system.
