About Us

The Anti Money Laundering Network (AML Network) is an independent watchdog platform dedicated to uncovering the hidden networks of money laundering, financial secrecy, and illicit finance that threaten democracies, drain public resources, and empower corruption worldwide.

We build open databases, publish investigative reports, and curate actionable research on shell companies, corporate laundering, real estate laundering, cryptocurrency abuse, and politically exposed persons (PEPs). Our mission is to empower journalists, regulators, whistleblowers, and the public with the tools to fight back against opaque financial power.

Our Mission

To promote financial transparency, expose illicit financial flows, and challenge systems of secrecy and abuse that shield the powerful. We believe:

• Illicit finance undermines human rights, democracy, and fair economies
• Transparency is a public good
• Privacy and accountability must co-exist
• Open data and journalism can dismantle impunity

Our work bridges gaps between investigative research, data transparency, and global AML enforcement efforts.

What We Do

We maintain a growing set of open-access investigative tools and knowledge hubs, including:

● Shell Companies Database

Tracking thousands of anonymous legal entities used to launder funds, evade sanctions, or disguise ownership.

● Corporate Laundering Database

Documenting real-world examples of how legitimate companies enable or ignore money laundering risk across sectors.

● Real Estate Laundering Database

Exposing properties and land purchases linked to suspect wealth, anonymous buyers, or politically exposed actors.

● Cryptocurrency Laundering Database

Investigating how digital assets are misused for laundering, obfuscating transfers, or bypassing financial controls.

● PEPs Database (Politically Exposed Persons)

Profiling global politicians, officials, and affiliates involved in high-risk transactions or corruption probes.

Each entry is evidence-based, transparently sourced, and designed to support AML professionals, journalists, civil society, and public scrutiny.

Why We Exist

Global anti-money laundering frameworks are only as strong as the information behind them. Yet:

• Shell companies can hide billions in stolen wealth
• Corporate enablers routinely ignore red flags
• Real estate markets are abused for offshore parking
• Cryptocurrency platforms are exploited by cybercriminals
• PEPs and oligarchs use legal systems to escape oversight

Governments often lack political will or cross-border visibility. AML Network exists to fill the gap — using public records, leaks, open-source intelligence (OSINT), and whistleblower contributions to build visibility where secrecy thrives.

Global, Independent, Privacy-Conscious

AML Network is:

• Independent: We are not affiliated with any government, corporation, or political body.
• Open Access: Our databases and reports are free to explore, use, and cite.
• Privacy-Focused: We believe in data minimization, user privacy, and secure submission protocols.
• Collaborative: We work with investigative journalists, civil society, whistleblowers, and AML experts globally.

We are supported by a growing community of independent researchers, digital rights advocates, and investigative contributors.

We welcome:

• Whistleblowers who want to report financial abuse securely

Our Values

• Transparency over secrecy
• Facts over speculation
• Anonymity over surveillance
• Courage over complicity
• Justice over inertia

We believe that fighting financial crime is inseparable from defending democracy, press freedom, and global equity.
