How the radar works
AML News Radar watches regulators, law enforcement, sanctions authorities and selected press, and turns every new notice into a structured item: what happened, who is named, where it applies and how much it matters to a compliance team.
- SOURCES WATCHED
- 60
- OFFICIAL SOURCES
- 33
- RISK SCORE
- 0–10
- NEW ITEMS CHECKED
- every 60 s
COLLECT
From the source
The radar reads 60 sources: 19 regulators, 7 law enforcement agencies, 4 sanctions authorities and 3 other official bodies, plus 27 news and specialist outlets.
When several outlets report the same action, it keeps one item and lists the others under “Also reported by”.
CLASSIFY
What it is about
Each item gets a category, a short summary, the people, companies and vessels it names with their role, and a list of what compliance teams should check.
SCORE
How much it matters
A risk score from 0 to 10 adds up the factors below. Every item page lists its own factors and points.
MAP
Where it applies
Items are pinned to every jurisdiction they affect. The map, the jurisdiction list and the filters use them; on the map, EU member states are grouped as the EU. A jurisdiction with enough official items has a page of its own.
Categories
- Financial Crime
- Fraud, money laundering, bribery and other proceeds-of-crime cases.
- Terrorism & Sanctions
- Designations and delistings, sanctions evasion and terrorist financing.
- Violent & Organized Crime
- Trafficking, cartels and organised crime groups.
- Legal & Regulatory
- New rules and guidance, fines and supervisory actions.
- General Adverse Media
- Other negative news about people and companies.
- Cyber & Data Security

Freshness
The page checks for new items every minute. New items land on the map as the scan passes and wait above the feed until you load them, so the list never jumps while you read. Each item page shows when the source published it and when the radar indexed it.
Limits
The radar reports what its sources publish. Summaries, categories and scores are automated and can be wrong; read the original notice before acting on an item. It is not legal advice and not a screening decision.
