Why We Only Recover 0.5% of Illicit Funds Around the World with James Treacy

In this episode of BCG on Compliance, your host Hanjo Seibert talks to James Treacy to find out why we are still only recovering a small fraction of illicit funds around the world. James is the CEO and co-founder of AML Intelligence, an Irish-based publication focusing on highlighting the latest in anti-money laundering techniques around the world. In today’s episode he unpacks one of the biggest realities of financial crime: less than half a percent of illicit proceeds are seized globally.

As we continue our innovation series, in today’s episode James shares which methods he would use to increase seizures and captures. He also takes us behind the curtain of AML Intelligence and shares the important work his publication is doing to help publicise money laundering practices across the world.
