Financial crime detection is broken
In 2025, $4.4 trillion in illicit funds flowed through the global financial system – up $1.3 trillion in just two years. More than $1.1 trillion was connected to drug trafficking, $528.5 billion to human trafficking, and $16.2 billion to terrorist financing. Another $579.4 billion was lost to fraud scams and bank fraud schemes.
Less than 1% of these proceeds are recovered.
That feels like an error of focus. Not an error of ability.
$500 billion
More than a third of a trillion dollars is generated each year by human trafficking.
50 million
There are more than 50 million people trapped in modern slavery.
<1%
Less than 1% of financial crimes are stopped.
The rules are moving to risk. Can you show your work?
FinCEN’s proposed AML/CFT Program Rule (April 2026 requires institutions to run risk-based programs and to build the government’s national AML/CFT priorities into their risk assessments. This includes human trafficking.
The direction is clear: documented, evidence-led preparedness. RedFlag Accelerator helps you build it.
