The transaction monitoring system of a bank generated an alert for a car wash client. After making large cash deposits, the client orders international wire transfers. Which additional circumstances…
The correct answer is A. The beneficiary of the wire transfers is a foreign company whose shareholders and director are. The suspicion increases when the beneficiary is a foreign company whose shareholders and director are other companies, as this can indicate the use of layered corporate structures to obscure the ultimate beneficial owner and conceal illicit fund flows.
