United Against Financial Crime

Join the Fight Against Money Laundering

Dirty Money Hates Daylight

Every year, trillions of dollars vanish – someone helps them disappear. UAML exists to find them and hold them accountable. UAML is a global coalition of investigators exposing banks, law firms, and lobbyists who hide the world’s stolen wealth

Book: Dirty Money from Andreas Frank and Markus Zydra

Mission

UAML is an international coalition working to expose and dismantle the global industry of banks, law firms, accounting firms, and lobbyists that enables money laundering, tax evasion, fraud, and corruption – in defense of democracy, the rule of law, and the equitable, sustainable stewardship of the world’s resources.

Goals

  • Follow the money. Investigate and publicly document the banks, firms, and intermediaries that operate the global haven industry across borders.
  • Name the enablers. Shift the focus from jurisdictions to the industry that moves between them, holding the operators accountable.
  • Protect the truth-tellers. Support and amplify whistleblowers and independent investigative journalism.
  • Press for accountability. Push regulators, courts, and lawmakers toward enforcement and reform.
  • Turn the tools back. Track how fintech and AI are reshaping financial secrecy and put those same technologies to work for transparency.

Statutes

Purpose of the Association

Working Together Against Money Laundering and Organized Crime

The Association pursues exclusively and directly charitable purposes within the meaning of the section titled “Tax-Exempt Purposes” of the German Fiscal Code (AO).

The purpose of the association is to promote crime prevention and public education, as well as to collect and make available funds and/or information to support science and research in the field of criminal law through another tax-exempt entity or a public-law entity

The statutory purpose is realized in particular through

  • conducting academic events and research projects, awarding research grants, and providing information, such as databases, webinars, and live debates;
  • public education on money laundering and related topics such as organized crime, corruption, and terrorism to prevent future criminal offenses in this area, as well as events with experts at schools, universities, and other public institutions to promote public education in this socially relevant context.
  • Promotion and support—to the extent permitted by law—of governmental measures, primarily criminal investigative measures, to prevent and combat money laundering and related crimes both nationally and internationally.
  • Participation in committees
