“…Acquiring, using or possessing criminal property requires that the person in possession of such property must have the knowledge that it is part of the proceeds from a criminal activity [21]. It is crucial to note that money laundering generally emanates from the proceeds of criminal activities in the UK (Ahlosani, 2016; Bell, 2009). The Proceeds of Crime Act defines criminal property as property that is known or suspected to represent proceeds or benefits from criminal activity [22].…”

Purpose Customer due diligence measures that are employed in the United Kingdom (UK) to detect and combat money laundering are discussed. The UK adopted a progressive regulatory and enforcement framework to combat money laundering which relies, inter alia, on the use of customer due diligence measures to regulate and curb the occurrence of money laundering activities in its financial institutions and financial markets. However, other regulatory measures that could have contributed to the effective combating money laundering in the UK will not be explored in detail since the article is focused on the reliance and use of customer due diligence measures to curb money laundering activities. Accordingly, the strength, flaws and weaknesses of the UK anti-money laundering regulatory and enforcement framework are examined. Lastly, possible recommendations to address such flaws and weaknesses are provided. Design/methodology/approach The paper discusses customer due diligence measures that are used in the UK to detect and combat money laundering. Findings It is hoped that policymakers and other relevant persons will use the recommendations provided in the paper to enhance the curbing of money laundering in the UK. Research limitations/implications The paper does not provide empirical research. Practical implications The study is useful to all policymakers, lawyers, law students and regulatory bodies in the UK. Social implications The study seeks to curb money laundering in the UK society globally. Originality/value The study is original research on the use of customer due diligence measures to detect and combat money laundering in the UK.

“…Scholars have been paying more attention to the use of computers and information technology to detect fraud and money laundering of criminal suspects. Bell [1] analyzed and summarized the cases of concealment or transfer of property in the United States. Meanwhile, billions of dollars of losses are caused by credit card transaction fraud every year in the United States; the key to reducing these losses is to study practical fraud detection algorithms.…”

Many judgment debtors try to evade, confront, and delay law enforcement using concealing and transferring their property to resist law enforcement in China. The act of hiding property seriously affects people’s legitimate rights and interests and China’s legal authority. Therefore, it is essential to find an effective method of analyzing whether a judgment debtor hides property. Aiming at the hidden property analysis problem, we propose a case-based reasoning method for the judgment debtor’s hidden property analysis. In the hidden property analysis process, we present the attributes of the enforcement case by crisp symbols, crisp numbers, interval numbers, and fuzzy linguistic variables and develop a hybrid similarity measure between the historical enforcement case and the target enforcement case. The results show that the recommendations obtained with the information and knowledge of similar historical cases are consistent with judicial practice, which can reduce the work pressure of law enforcement officers and improve the efficiency of handling enforcement cases.

“…The existing researches of judgment debtors have focused on law system improvement. Bell [27] analyzed and summarized cases of concealment or transfer of property in the United States and used them in criminal prosecution cases in England to help judges define whether the defendant's actions in similar cases are necessarily intentional concealment and whether the results of the actions constitute a crime. Kupelyants [28] found out it was needlessly onerous that the judgment debtor enforced a foreign judgment under English law and analogized to other legal regimes.…”

In most law enforcement cases, judgment debtors have behaviors of evading execution in China, which seriously affects the authority of legal judgments and the judiciary's credibility. Characteristics analysis of judgment debtors plays a vital role in finding out the concealed property and improving efficiency in handling law enforcement cases. Considering the advantages of hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets (HFLTSs) representing the judgment debtors' attributes and keeping all the original evaluation information on judgment debtors, we develop a hesitant fuzzy linguistic agglomerative hierarchical clustering (HFL-AHC) method to cluster judgment debtors and analyze the main characteristic of judgment debtors with concealing property. In some situations, the existing HFLTS distance cannot divide the judgment debtors. Therefore, we propose some new distance measures to classify the judgment debtors. The clustering results show that the judgment debtors who hide property have a poor evaluation of trading behavior, work, credibility, and consumption behavior.INDEX TERMS hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets (HFLTSs); agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC) method; distance measure; judgment debtors; law enforcement H.
