In a post-Coronavirus world, the ethical expectations companies face from consumers, investors, third parties and regulators will only increase. This means that companies’ relationships to Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) will be scrutinized more than ever. Download our step-by-step guide on using Nexis® Solutions technology and data to screen, investigate and monitor PEPs to mitigate risk.
Politically exposed persons, or PEPs, carry a greater risk of bribery and corruption because their prominent role in a country and public function can make them a target for bad actors seeking undue influence. Unsurprisingly, many of the biggest bribery and corruption cases of all time involve PEPs.
For example, Operation Car Wash in Brazil implicated more than 80 politicians and members of the business elite in a kick-back scheme centered around the construction company Odebrecht. This case caused lasting legal, financial, reputational, and strategic damage to Odebrecht. Last year, five years after the investigation into its activities began, Odebrecht filed for bankruptcy protection in Brazil.
