E71: Exposing the money laundering secrets of the insurance industry

Ask yourself: What are the first three words that come to your mind when you think of insurance?

Security? protection? safety?

I doubt many would think: money laundering, global terrorism, or criminal conspiracy.

But the insurance industry, built on trust, has a troubling issue with dark money being washed through it.

In the latest episode of The Laundry – our expert host, Fredrik Riiser, is joined by Tara Abdi, Head of Compliance Financial Crime, Länsförsäkringar

The pair discuss: the exposed risks of the insurance industry, the challenges in fighting those risks, and how compliance professionals can stop the industry being exploited.

Producer: Matthew Dunne-Miles

Engineers: Dominic Delargy, Nicholas Thon
