Collection of data and cases

Collection of data and case studies on legal businesses involved in SOC infiltration from the following sources:

• Judicial documents and police files on criminal cases
• Institutional reports and datasets
• Media
• Socio-economic and structural business statistics (SBS) datasets
• Business registries and business data providers
• Other public databases

Analysis of data and cases

Analysis of the collected data and case studies. In particular two analyses will be performed:

• A script analysis of case studies to identify the criminals’ modi operandi, drivers, and facilitators of SOC infiltration
• A statistical analysis of infiltrated businesses’ ownership data, financial data and other company information

Development of a risk-assessment model

Based on the results of WP2, risk factors of SOC infiltration are identified at different levels, e.g.:

• At contextual level (e.g. type of territory and/or business sector)
• At business ownership level (e.g. nature of owners, type of control structure, etc)
• At business management level (e.g. financing strategy, use of assets, profitability)

The risk-assessment model (RAM) is tested and applied in selected EU territories and business sectors.
