DATACROS
Developing A Tool to Assess Corruption Risk factors in firms’ Ownership Structure
The project has developed a tool to detect anomalies in firms’ ownership structure that can flag high risks of collusion, corruption and money laundering in the European single market. It involved as partners the French Anti-corruption Agency (AFA), the Spanish Police (CNP) and the investigative journalist from Investigative Reporting Project Italy (IRPI).
The tool was then tested in operational scenarios with many end users and further enhanced in the two following phases of the project, DATACROS II and DATACROS III, with new features (including AI-based modules), risk indicators and data sources.
