Russia's invasion of Ukraine has led to a surge in financial sanctions against Russian Oligarchs, banks, and other entities. The hunt is now on to identify beneficiaries, trace and freeze assets, including private jets and superyachts. Learn databases and tools that will help you know who you're dealing with and locate assets that they don't want you to know about. Presented by Ellen Hewitt, Senior Director, FTI Consulting; Nigel Nicholson, CEO, GreyList Trace; Roman Anin, Investigative Reporter, IStories; and Will Fitzgibbon, Investigative Reporter, ICIJ.

This video presentation introduces some of the primary online databases that are useful in identifying assets for companies and individuals globally. Included is a discussion about public and private corporate disclosures, land registries, litigation and procurement records, as well as more creative tools such as construction and fire permits, satellite imagery, leaked and breached data and people search engines. Most of this data is free, but accessing it can sometimes be challenging due to technical, geographical and language barriers or sheer volume. The presentation will also show you how to build your own tools to access these records or, alternatively, buy ready-made commercial solutions that do it for you. Throughout, the presenter will include several examples from real cases, illustrating a wide array of tools, techniques and skills required for asset tracing. Presented by Cristopher Uglea (FTI Consulting).
