Intro to BRACCO
BRACCO is a 2-year project, from December 2008 to December 2010
It is co-financed by the EC Directorate General Justice, Liberty and Security
Partners: InfoCamere and Metaware (left the project in April)

Objectives of the project
The project contributes to the fight against fiscal crime by developing a search & investigation system to collect, aggregate, process, analyse and visualise information extracted from different public sources.
Such investigation is normally highly labour- and knowledge-intensive, requiring making sense out of a deluge of data.
![Page 5: Prevention of money-laundering and fiscal fraud: the BRACCO project](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56813fc0550346895daa9f98/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Why should BRs get involved?
AML is not (necessarily*) a Business Register service, but it is an important area of collaboration between administrations.
* - some Registers are interested in monitoring their territories and all are interested in supporting thorough due diligence procedures.
![Page 6: Prevention of money-laundering and fiscal fraud: the BRACCO project](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56813fc0550346895daa9f98/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
the service context or market
The data sources include public registers such as the Business Register, the Insolvency and defaulters databases, yearly accounts statements, as well as newspaper articles.
Customer databases can also be integrated to provide additional relations for custom-tailored applications (Fiscal Police, Tax Authority, Stock Exchange Authority, Local Business Regulation Agencies)

the service context or market
A first (simple) product of this type is being used by the Fiscal Police and was introduced in 2009 to all the Italian Chambers of Commerce (BRs).
In 2010 it will be released as part of the standard Business Register access system.

Techniques in fiscal crime detection and prevention
• Integrate and aggregate different data sources• NLP for analysis of free-text information such as newspaper articles• Data Visualisation – “social networks”• Data Analytics - analyse networks for special features, to detect patterns or series of events• Notify relevant authorities of events
![Page 10: Prevention of money-laundering and fiscal fraud: the BRACCO project](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56813fc0550346895daa9f98/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Relationships
Relations between companies and/or people:
ownership, company roles, personal and professional relations or family ties, events such as transfer of shares, mergers, involvement in fiscal crimes and the related investigations
![Page 11: Prevention of money-laundering and fiscal fraud: the BRACCO project](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56813fc0550346895daa9f98/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
BRACCO software tools• analysis of free-text• data normalisation based on a model of the domain (rules and taxonomies governing the relationships - ontology) and based on a unique identification of subjects • an inference engine to further analyse the relations and draw conclusions (further relations) • graph analysis (“social network analysis”) and statistics on groups or clusters of companies • visual navigation of relations

The next steps
Further development of the data analysis techniques and statistics on groups
Application to nearby domains (Naples project on Public Tenders)
Validation with international shareholders data (Infogreffe); presentations and experiments (data exchange) with other BR’s
![Page 40: Prevention of money-laundering and fiscal fraud: the BRACCO project](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56813fc0550346895daa9f98/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
future steps
data reliability measures
unique identification of subjects
new, customer-supplied relations
