E132: The rise of the NepoPEPs – Russia's golden youth

Young, educated, multi-lingual, tech-savvy, operating across multiple countries.


NepoPEPs are the sons, daughters, and other younger relatives of typical oligarchs—a new generation that has become instrumental in moving money across borders through crypto and other illicit means.


But make no mistake—stopping this network of young politically exposed persons is no child’s play!


Our expert host, Robin Lycka, is joined by Rachel Wolcott, founder and editor of Compliance Corylated, to explore: the rise of the NepoPEPs!


The pair discuss: the new face of Russia's golden youth, the financial crimes these networks are committing, and how the compliance community should react
