The analysis of social networks is also one of the tools used by the Financial Intelligence Unit for Italy (FIU) of the Bank of Italy in its work on the most significant cases of money laundering faced recently.
This is what emerges from the new Recycling Case Book, which collects some emblematic examples reconstructed by the unit.
These range from the risks associated with the implementation of the NRRP, such as "phenomena of undue perception or distorted use of public funds, with possible infiltration of organized crime", to emerging threats, also related to FinTech developments, and the financing of terrorism, "given the resurgence of risk" in the international scenario. S Some in-depth studies developed with the help of social network analysis tools are presented as "useful for bringing out possible networks of subjects, not otherwise identifiable".
