Legal Governance — Compliance Decision Council
Multi-agent deliberation with AML/KYC, OFAC screening, cross-jurisdiction compliance, and PEP due diligence
Scenario Briefing
Northgate Capital Partners, a $2.8B wealth management firm, has received an urgent wire transfer request: $8.5M from Redline Holdings Ltd to a Cyprus-based account. The client is a former senior government official in the energy sector — making him a Politically Exposed Person (PEP) under international AML regulations.
The compliance team is nervous. The transaction triggers flags across 4 jurisdictions — US (OFAC/FinCEN), EU (6AMLD), Cyprus (CySEC), and Basel III §4.2.1. Source-of-funds documentation is incomplete. The firm must decide: execute the wire and risk regulatory action, or hold it and risk losing a $50M AUM client. The Legal Governance Council has been convened to deliberate.
