  During the internship I gained knowledge of the legal instruments which regulate banks and financial institutions with strong emphasis in Anti Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing. In Spain such regime is embodied by the 10/2010 Act which I consistently applied over the three months I enjoyed in the department. Working within a group of more than thirty people I was responsible, under supervision, of compiling a list of clients which may be considered as a Politically Exposed Person (PEP). I also managed requests from the Sepblac (acronym for the Spanish Executive Service of Anti Money Laundering), the Bank of Spain and a wide range of courts and tribunals from Madrid and also other provinces of Spain.
