Unmasking the Mule: Advanced Strategies for Detection, Disruption, and Prevention

Money mule networks remain a persistent threat in the financial crime landscape, demanding more sophisticated countermeasures than ever before. This webinar examines the evolution of mule accounts and the growing sophistication of these networks, emphasising the urgent need for advanced detection and disruption strategies.

Recognising the limitations of traditional, generic rules-based detection methods, we explore more sophisticated techniques and technology approaches to combat this threat, including the use of artificial intelligence (AI), network analytics and behavioural analysis, providing practical guidance for model development and implementation.
