Methods & Trends

The 2021 APG Yearly Typologies Report includes approximately 145 cases received from 15 APG member jurisdictions.

Each year APG members and observers provide case studies, observations on trends, research, information on regulatory enforcement action, and examples of international cooperation. The information collected provides a basis for further study of particular and high priority topics.

The case studies featured in this report are a small part of the work by law enforcement and intelligence agencies in the Asia/Pacific and other regions to detect and combat ML and TF. Many cases cannot be shared publicly due to their sensitive nature or to ongoing investigative/judicial processes.

This report includes a brief chapter on understanding risks associated with proliferation financing in light of the amendments to Recommendation 1 and its Interpretive Note adopted by the FATF on 23 October 2020
