HUSEYNOV DIAM L.L.C.

🔴 High Risk

HUSEYNOV DIAM L.L.C., a UAE-based company engaged in the diamond, jewelry, and building materials trade, has surfaced in investigative reports linking it to suspicious trade transactions potentially involving money laundering. Despite operating in a high-risk jurisdiction known for financial opacity, the company maintains a low profile, with limited publicly available ownership information and no direct regulatory actions reported. Its role in these questionable transactions highlights the ongoing challenges in detecting and curbing trade-based money laundering within complex international trade networks.

HUSEYNOV DIAM L.L.C. is a UAE-registered commercial company primarily engaged in diamond and jewelry trade, as well as dealing with building materials. The company was identified in investigative reports as having engaged in suspicious trade transactions in 2013 involving British companies linked to a large-scale Russian money laundering scheme. These deals, involving relatively small amounts of money for building materials, formed part of larger allegations of trade-based money laundering. Attempts by investigators to contact the company for explanation were unanswered, reflecting possible opacity in corporate governance. Although no direct sanctions or regulatory proceedings are publicly documented against HUSEYNOV DIAM L.L.C., the company’s involvement in such suspicious deals places it in a high-risk category within the MENA region’s laundering risk landscape.
