E145: What American Candy Stores can tell us about money laundering

This month, more than 2,700 high street stores across the UK were visited by police – leading to 900 arrests and more than £10 million in criminal proceeds seized.

In this episode, your expert hosts – Fredrik Riiser and Robin Lycka – are asking: What can American Candy Stores can tell us about money laundering?


The pair discuss: how these shop fronts work for laundering criminal funds and how the data can help us see the full picture.


Producer: Matthew Dunne-Miles
