Ivson Carlos Araújo da Silva
@ivsoncaraujo
Legal and compliance professional specializing in EU financial crime, sanctions, and market integrity analysis.
What I'm looking for
I’m a legal professional with academic training in Regulatory, Corporate and Financial Law and over 7 years of experience in a law firm and in the banking & financial services sector. I analyze regulatory frameworks, review formal documentation, monitor EU legal developments, and draft structured legal and policy briefings.
In my current and recent roles, I investigate money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, and other financial crime typologies, including Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) and crypto-related activity, while preparing detailed case reports and filing SARs to external authorities. At BNP Paribas, I’ve handled market abuse and market integrity surveillance and investigations across multiple asset classes, and I’ve also specialized in sanctions exposure, suspicious transactions, and cross-border payment activity by reviewing SEPA and SWIFT flows.
I’m especially driven by emerging technologies like crypto assets, blockchain and AI, with familiarity in crypto-related regulatory frameworks such as MiCA and the DLT Pilot Regime. I’m rigorous, solution-oriented, and committed to governance oversight, continuous enhancement of internal surveillance procedures, and holistic compliance thinking.
