ProofAML — Global PEP Census Dataset
Research snapshot — not current data; production sanctions screening requires a live, monitored feed.
Erratum — version 2026-08-24-rev1 is a corrected re-issue that supersedes the original 2026-08-24 release, which is withdrawn and must not be used. Sources lacking a confirmed public-redistribution license were removed (license-compliance remediation, ADR-113); the full current exclusion list is in this bundle's manifest.json "excluded" array.
50,728 politically exposed persons, all official government sources, zero Wikidata.
A type-axis segment of the ProofAML corpus (global-pep-census): 17 sources, 50,728 entity records (version 2026-08-24-rev1), cut from the same emitter run as the master snapshot and governed by the same terms.
Why this segment
This is the deliverable that operationalizes the existing "Global PEP Census" flagship narrative page as an actual downloadable, separately-citable bundle. Reuses the existing brand name rather than inventing a second, competing "PEP dataset" concept. No sanctions/wanted/watchlist rows at all — pure PEP, which is the entire point (a PEP flag is a classification requiring enhanced due diligence, never a designation, per the product's own sanctions/PEP bifurcation). All sources are official government or intergovernmental publications; no crowdsourced (Wikidata) data.
Overlap disclosure
This dataset overlaps with other ProofAML segment datasets and the master snapshot — entities are not unique to this file. See https://proofaml.com/sources/ for the full corpus and the other available segments.
