# RRE Categories in Scope

> The six core Reputational Risk Exposure categories with their subcategories, financial thresholds, and the criteria that qualify a profile.

RRE content is organised into **six core categories** plus **one auxiliary legacy category**. Each subcategory has its own qualifying criteria, and some carry a financial threshold.

Across every category, the baseline requirement is the same: the subject must be **wanted, charged, indicted, prosecuted, convicted, or sentenced**, evidenced by an official source or by media reporting on official action.

***

## 1. Terrorism

No financial threshold. Assessed qualitatively.

| Subcategory                                          | What qualifies                                                                           |
| ---------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **1.1 Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction** | Proceedings in relation to international terrorism                                       |
| **1.2 Terrorist Financing and Support**              | Proceedings in relation to international terrorism                                       |
| **1.3 Violent Crimes with Terrorist Connection**     | Proceedings for participation in violent crimes with an established terrorist connection |

<Warning>
  **Domestic terrorism is excluded.** So are violent crimes such as mass shootings and hate crimes, unless there is evidence of a terrorist connection.
</Warning>

## 2. Organised Crime

No financial threshold. Assessed qualitatively.

| Subcategory                                       | What qualifies                                                                                                                                                |

| **2.3 Smuggling or Illicit Trafficking in Goods** | Organised goods trafficking and smuggling under the same criteria                                                                                             |

## 3. Modern Slavery

## 4. Financial Crime and Fraud

This is the category where thresholds bite hardest — nearly every subcategory carries one.

| Subcategory                                                   | Threshold  | What qualifies                                                                                                              |

| **4.2 Money Laundering**                                      | USD 10,000 | Laundering of criminal proceeds valued at or above USD 10,000, by individuals or companies                                  |
| **4.3 Tax Offences**                                          | USD 10,000 | Tax crimes with proceeds valued at or above USD 10,000                                                                      |
| **4.4 Embezzlement**                                          | USD 10,000 | Embezzlement of assets valued at or above USD 10,000                                                                        |
| **4.5 Counterfeiting of Currency**                            | USD 10,000 | Counterfeiting of USD 10,000 or above                                                                                       |
| **4.6 High-Value Theft and Robbery**                          | USD 10,000 | Theft and robbery generating proceeds valued at or above USD 10,000                                                         |
| **4.7 Insider Trading**                                       | USD 10,000 | Insider trading and market manipulation at or above the threshold                                                           |
| **4.8 Unexplained Wealth**                                    | GBP 50,000 | Proceedings relating to wealth that cannot be accounted for, at or above GBP 50,000                                         |

Thresholds are given in USD or the equivalent in another currency. Where the reporting contains no financial figure, relevance is judged on additional factors instead — organised crime, terrorism, modern slavery, financial crime and fraud, bribery and corruption, or cybercrime indicators.

<Note>
  The USD 10,000 figure can look low. It is a prioritisation floor, not the only test — the qualitative criteria still apply, and a case that clears the number but fails those criteria is not captured.
</Note>

## 5. Bribery and Corruption

No financial threshold. Assessed qualitatively.

| Subcategory                                                              | What qualifies                                                         |

## 6. Cybercrime

| Subcategory                         | Threshold  | What qualifies                                                                                               |

## 7. Other Alleged Offences

The auxiliary category, and the only one built on **low-credibility** evidence: content that would fit categories 1–6 but has **no evidence of official action**, plus other offence types that are not explicitly out of scope.

This category is legacy only. It holds existing profiles created under earlier methodology, and applies to currently out-of-scope crime. **New content is not created under it** — anything added after January 2020 requires evidence of official action.

***

## Not Listed Does Not Mean Not Covered

The category list describes how content is *classified*, not an exhaustive list of qualifying crimes. A crime that appears under no explicit category or subcategory is still captured if it predicates money laundering or can be classified under an existing subcategory.

**Environmental crime** is the clearest illustration. It is not a named RRE category, and wildlife crime is explicitly out of scope — yet environmental offences are routinely captured:

* **Under Terrorism** — where a terrorist organisation funds itself through activity such as illicit ivory trafficking, or commits environmental damage as part of its operations.
* **Under Organised Crime** — where organised groups profit from illegal disposal of commercial, industrial or radioactive waste and launder the proceeds.
* **Under Bribery and Corruption** — where an environmental offence generating proceeds was facilitated by bribing public officials. Both the briber and the official are profiled.
* **Under Financial Crime and Fraud — Money Laundering** — where proceeds from an environmental crime are laundered at or above the threshold. This route applies to cases that do not meet the qualitative criteria of any other subcategory; if they do, they are classified there instead.
