Other MROS publications for financial intermediaries and merchants
Financial Intelligence Against Humain Trafficking
With the support of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), MROS launched the ‘Financial Intelligence Against Human Trafficking’ (FIAHT) project, which aims in particular to create a guide to raise awareness among financial intermediaries. Among other things, the guide lists indicators that point to human trafficking and related crimes. This guide serves as a tool for financial intermediaries and traders to identify transactions and behaviours in this area of serious crime.
Alerts
Alerts are situation-specific and are published in response to recent events. They are mainly intended for financial intermediaries to help them assess risks and comply with their due diligence and reporting obligations under the Anti-Money Laundering Act.

Reports of the Egmont Group
MROS is a member of the Egmont Group, an international network of 177 operationally independent financial intelligence units (FIU). The Egmont Group creates the necessary conditions for the sharing of information among FIUs worldwide.
The Egmont Group publishes a selection of financial analysis cases (anonymised, concrete examples of money laundering: Best Egmont Cases 2014 – 2020). These cases enable knowledge to be shared among FIUs and help to raise awareness among other stakeholders in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing.
