In July 2024, a French construction group approached Skan1 to assess the integrity of a potential partner. SKAN-3X analysis reveals a complex profile with high risk..
Mission context :
The client is considering collaborating with a businessman active in real estate to help him develop, particularly in the context of public tenders.
This potential partner was introduced at a professional event. He seems to have credentials and has an undeniable charisma despite a relatively low profile. However, the organization he is associated with, which is as recent as it is local, raises questions about the sustainability and legitimacy of his activities. The objective is therefore to assess the ethical and compliance risks, particularly in terms of anti-corruption.
Result of our investigations :
Research conducted by Skan1 shows that the businessman in question is using a dual identity and has already been the subject of a criminal conviction for fraud. In addition, his network of companies, which has been thoroughly investigated, particularly in Luxembourg and Belgium, raises questions of transparency.
The analysis highlights suspicious transfers of funds between the various entities under control. These opaque financial movements raise concerns about potential tax evasion and circumvention of local regulations..
Investigations also reveal:
- Links to unsavory individuals involved in illegal activities
- Recent judicial liquidations
Benefit for the customer :
Thanks to the SKAN-3X assessment, the client understands the potential risks they will face if they engage further with this person, both in terms of ethics and compliance, but also in terms of reputation and financially.
The analysis allows them to clearly assess the situation and the necessary precautions; they decide to pause the discussions and consider alternatives that guarantee a more serene entry into a business relationship to support them in achieving their objectives..
