I’m leaning towards option C as well, but I wonder if closing the alert could be justified since there’s no court order yet.

I remember a similar question where we had to decide whether to close an alert or escalate it. I think escalating is safer in this case.

I think the best option might be to escalate to a compliance officer, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right step.
