This training provides an overview of human trafficking, explaining what it is, why it occurs, and how it has become one of the fastest-growing forms of organized crime globally. The module highlights how human trafficking intersects with multiple forms of financial crime, making it complex to detect. It examines links with organized crime networks, the use of trade-based money laundering, shell companies, and front businesses to disguise illicit proceeds, and the role of corruption and bribery in enabling trafficking routes.

Finally, the module discusses the enabling legal framework, account structure indicators, and red flags, supported by real-world case studies and key takeaways to help you better detect, report, and prevent human trafficking–related financial activity.
