E146: What keeps the US Department of Justice up at night?

“Uphold the rule of law, to keep our country safe, and to protect civil rights” – these are the stated aims of the US Department of Justice.


The US is the world’s largest economy, where every decision has ripples in the global market. That makes fighting corruption, laundering, and sanctions evasion crucial work.


Being part of one of the most important branches of government must lead to some stress when your head hits the pillow at night.


Our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Craig Timm, Senior Director of Anti-Money Laundering at ACAMS, to ask: What keeps the US Department of Justice up at night when it comes to financial crime?


The pair discuss: biggest challenges of working for the DOJ, the impact of politics on the work, and prosecuting some of the world's biggest financial institutions.


Producer: Matthew Dunne-Miles

Editor: Dominic Delargy
