Who Is A Politically Exposed Person (PEP)?
A politically exposed person is a person who has a prominent public function and therefore generally presents a higher risk for potential involvement in bribery and corruption due to their position and the influence they hold. Some examples include:
- Heads of State
- Heads of Government
- Senior politicians
- Senior government, judicial or military officials
- Senior executives of state owned corporations
- Important political party officials
- Family members or close associates of the above
