1. C6 Intelligence – What is a PEP (Politically
Exposed Person)? By Paul Renner
C6 Intelligence bases the definition of a PEP (Politically Exposed Person) on the FATF
version:
Foreign PEPs are individuals who are or have been entrusted with prominent public
functions by a foreign country, for example Heads of State or of government, senior
politicians, senior government, judicial or military officials, senior executives of state
owned corporations, important political party officials.
Domestic PEPs are individuals who are or have been entrusted domestically with
prominent public functions, for example Heads of State or of government, senior
politicians, senior government, judicial or military officials, senior executives of state
owned corporations, important political party officials.
Persons who are or have been entrusted with a prominent function by an international
organisation refers to members of senior management, i.e. directors, deputy directors
and members of the board or equivalent functions.
The definition of PEPs is not intended to cover middle ranking or more junior individuals
in the foregoing categories.
C6 Intelligence has set up in-house PEP Categorisation guidelines that serve as the
research framework for its analysts to follow consistently throughout their systematic
research and ad hoc due diligence investigations.
While several categories have to be treated with discretion in certain contexts, the
general guidelines should cover most governance systems spanning all jurisdictions in
the world. In accordance with the designated risk levels, C6 Intelligence
further categorises a PEP into different priority groups according to the following
