Law enforcement
People wanted by police and international law enforcement.

- National lists, such as the Netherlands police’s Nationale Opsporingslijst
Watchlist screening
The lists that aren’t sanctions — checked too
Wanted notices, debarments, disqualified directors and proscribed organizations flag risk that no sanctions list carries. They’re in the same search.
Illustrative — fictional names and bodies.
What counts as a watchlist
Four kinds of list, with real examples
Debarment
Firms and people barred from contracts or markets.
- World Bank Debarred Providers
- Brazil List of Debarred Bidders
- India National Stock Exchange Debarred Entities
Disqualified directors
People barred from running companies.
- UK Companies House Disqualified Directors
Proscribed organizations
Groups a government has banned.
- UK Proscribed Terrorist Groups or Organizations
And more — the Sources page in your console lists every source your account screens against, by country.
Topics
Know what kind of listing it is at a glance
Every record carries topics, so a wanted notice doesn’t read like a PEP and a PEP doesn’t read like a sanction.
wantedWanted — sought by police or international law enforcement.
crimeCrime — linked to criminal activity in the source.
crime.terrorTerrorism — linked to terrorism in the source.
sanctionSanction — on a sanctions list.
role.pepPEP — holds or held a prominent public position.
Re-screening
Screening again is your call
AMLPRO doesn’t watch your customers in the background. You decide when someone is screened again — on a schedule, or when their details change — and the API runs it.
- Re-screen through the API on the cycle your policy sets.
- File every run under the same reference, and find them together in the usage log.
- Each run comes with its own PDF report.
Questions
What teams ask about watchlist screening
Something we haven’t covered? Ask us — we’ll answer for your case.
Are watchlists part of the AML search?
Yes. One AML search checks sanctions, PEP and watchlist data together, and each record’s topics show what kind of listing it is.
How is a watchlist different from a sanctions list?
A sanctions list carries legal restrictions. A watchlist — a wanted notice, a debarment, a disqualification — flags risk without a sanctions regime behind it. Both matter, and both are in the search.
Do you monitor watchlists continuously?
No. You re-screen through the API when your policy says to, or when a customer’s details change. Each run is filed under the same reference.
Can we see where a listing came from?
Yes. Every record names the sources it appears on, and sanctions entries carry a link to the source itself.
