Matrix Intelligence were engaged for international asset tracing by an Israeli Law Firm to assist with the identification of hidden assets belonging to an individual who had been indicted by the US Government for breaching sanctions against Iran and whom was also under suspicion of laundering money in excess of US $10bn.

Initially, we were briefed that the subject had a registered address in Dubai, but that he was believed to be living in Tbilisi, Georgia. Exploiting his address, we were able to identify information linking the individual to the Qatari National Bank in Doha.

Outcome

Our Investigation led us to uncover a registered address in Doha, Qatar and subsequently established that the Subject was connected to multiple companies in the following jurisdictions: Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, Jersey, Luxembourg, Malta, Saint Kitts & Nevis, Seychelles, Singapore. We also established that he held high value assets in Switzerland.

Working with Matrix Intelligence

At Matrix we understand the difference between intelligence and evidence required for use in a Court of Law and have extensive knowledge of the legal system, enforcement regimes and cultural practices within those jurisdictions most commonly associated with hidden assets.
