Resumo

A proposta do presente estudo é a de desenvolver um método para a identificação automática de elementos relevantes em Relatórios de Inteligência Financeira. Então, inicialmente, explicamos a adoção de uma métrica específica para indicar suspeitas de lavagem de dinheiro, que é o uso de interpostas pessoas, comumente conhecidas como “laranjas”. Uma forma de se identificar tais pessoas é verificar coincidências de pessoas como empregadas e sócias de empresas que operaram entre si. Detalhamos a metodologia adotada, que se iniciou com a tabulação das operações financeiras do Relatório de Inteligência Financeira e depois com a coleta dos dados relativos aos quadros societários das empresas e dos vínculos empregatícios dos sócios. Posteriormente, foi explicado o desenvolvimento de um script de extração, tratamento e carga dos dados em um programa de Business Intelligence, que trouxe como resultado uma tabela com as prováveis interpostas pessoas. Esta tabela, juntamente com os demais dados, foi importada para um programa de análise de vínculos, que permite visualizar os dados por meio de grafos. O resultado final foi um grafo que destaca as pessoas suspeitas de serem “laranjas” e, desta forma, facilita a análise do investigador.

Palavras-chave: Lavagem de Dinheiro. Interpostas Pessoas. Grafos.

Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to develop a method for the automatic identification of relevant elements in Financial Intelligence Reports. So we initially explained the adoption of a specific metric to indicate suspicions of money laundering, which is the use of interposed people, commonly known as "oranges". One way to identify such people is to verify coincidences of people as employees and members of companies that operated among themselves. We detail the methodology adopted, which began with the tabulation of the financial operations of the Financial Intelligence Report and then with the collection of the data related to the companies' corporate staff and the employment relationships of the members. Subsequently, we explained the development of a script extracting, processing and loading the data into a Business Intelligence program, which resulted in a table with the likely interposed people. This table, along with the other data, was imported into a link analysis program, which allows visualizing the data through graphs. The final result was a graph highlighting the people suspected of being "oranges" and, thus, facilitates the researcher's analysis.

Keywords: Money laundry. Interposed People. Graphs.
