About Tomas Santos

With over 10 years of experience in financial crimes intelligence and investigation, I am a Director at Citi, leading multiple teams of seasoned investigators who conduct complex, cross border investigations into various financial crimes, such as Trade Based Money Laundering, Sanctions Evasion, and Terrorism Finance. I hold a certification as a Certified Anti Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS), demonstrating my expertise and commitment in this field. My mission is to protect the integrity and reputation of Citi and its clients, by ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, recommending appropriate actions based on a holistic review of the cases, and presenting the findings and recommendations to senior management and external stakeholders. I leverage advanced analytical tools to identify patterns of suspicious activity, and collaborate with internal and external partners, such as AML Data Analytics, advisory teams, and various public/private partnerships, to obtain the data necessary for these reviews. I also develop and lead multiple highly sensitive projects with a focus on emerging risks and trends in financial crimes.
