About
THE ORGANIZATION'S 2017 PROGRAM ACTIVITIES WERE RELATED TO THE ACTIVITIES OF THE SENTRY, AN INITIATIVE THAT SEEKS TO DISMANTLE THE NETWORKS OR PERPETRATORS, FACILITATORS, AND ENABLERS WHO FUND AND PROFIT FROM AFRICA'S DEADLIEST CONFLICTS. THE SENTRY HAS HAD A NUMBER OF POSITIVE OUTCOMES FROM THE WORK IT CARRIED OUT IN 2017. THE UNITED STATES, EUROPEAN UNION, AND OTHER GOVERNMENTS NOT ONLY ACTED DIRECTLY ON THE SENTRY'S RECOMMENDATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THREE OF OUR COUNTRIES OF FOCUS, BUT OUR OVERALL APPROACH OF INTEGRATING MODERNIZED FINANCIAL PRESSURES WITH POLICY STRATEGIES TO ACHIEVE PEACE IN EAST AND CENTRAL AFRICA BECAME A MORE CONSISTENT ELEMENT OF U.S. AND EUROPEAN POLICY AS WELL AS OF BROADER INTERNATIONAL ADVOCACY. IN SEPTEMBER 2017, THE UNITED STATES LEVIED SANCTIONS AGAINST KEY LEADERS IN SOUTH SUDAN, AS WELL AS THREE COMPANIES OWNED BY ONE OF THESE LEADERS. U.S. AUTHORITIES ALSO ISSUED AN UNPRECEDENTED ADVISORY CONCERNING CORRUPTION AND MONEY LAUNDERING RELATED TO SOUTH SUDAN. AUTHORITIES APPLIED SANCTIONS AGAINST SOME OF THE SENTRY'S KEY TARGETS IN THE CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC AND DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO, INCLUDING ONE OF CONGO PRESIDENT JOSEPH KABILA'S LONG-TIME BUSINESS PARTNERS AND PROXIES, DAN GERTLER, PLUS MANY OF GERTLER'S COMPANIES AND ASSOCIATES. FINALLY, THE AUSTRALIAN FEDERAL POLICE BEGAN PROCEDURES TO SEIZE THE HOUSE OF A FORMER SOUTH SUDANESE GENERAL, BASED ON THE SENTRY'S INVESTIGATIONS.THE SENTRY DEEPENED ENGAGEMENT WITH FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS TO MORE DIRECTLY AND CONCRETELY IMPEDE ACCESS OF VIOLENT KLEPTOCRATS AND THEIR NETWORKS TO THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM. THE SENTRY'S ENGAGEMENT WITH FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS INCLUDED BRIEFING OVER A DOZEN BANKS AND CONVENING REPRESENTATIVES FROM SEVEN GLOBAL BANKS IN APRIL AND OCTOBER 2017 TO DISCUSS COLLABORATION. IN THREE CASES, THE BANKS INDICATED THEY SUBSEQUENTLY ACTED AGAINST ACCOUNTS BASED ON OUR INFORMATION, THOUGH THEY USUALLY DO NOT SHARE SPECIFIC DETAILS ON THEIR ACTIONS DUE TO VARIOUS LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS. ONE MAJOR BRITISH BANK PROVIDED AN UNSOLICITED LETTER TO THE SENTRY INDICATING THAT OUR WORK "INCLUDED ACTIONABLE DATA THAT FURTHER ENHANCED [THE BANK'S] UNDERSTANDING OF THE CHARACTERISTICS AND TYPOLOGIES OF CORRUPTION SCHEMES OPERATING IN THE AFRICAN CONTINENT." ACCORDING TO THE BANK, THE SENTRY'S WORK "ENABLED THE BANK TO MORE EFFECTIVELY PREVENT AND DETECT THE FLOW OF ILLICIT PROCEEDS OF CRIME."
