PEP & Sanctions Check
Screen a name against global PEP and sanctions lists โ no document required
Reading a result: a PEP hit just confirms the subject is a recognized political figure โ a due-diligence flag required by AML law, not an accusation on its own; expect sitting officials to hit PEP databases. A Sanctions hit means a government has legally restricted them โ treat this as the real red flag. Review sanctions hits first; a PEP-only result needs enhanced due diligence noted, not automatic rejection.
