MIAMI, FL – Socorro Partners, a rapidly expanding global consulting and advisory firm, today announced the appointment of Sol Muñoz, former Corporate Head of AML & Sanctions at Mercado Libre, to lead its Compliance & Anti-Money Laundering (AML) practice across Latin America.

With an outstanding track record leading regulatory compliance, anti-money laundering, risk management, and control framework enhancement initiatives at one of the region's most influential technology companies, Muñoz joins Socorro Partners to accelerate the growth and further strengthen the firm's Compliance, AML, and Financial Crime Advisory Practice across Latin America.
