Financial Crime Weekly Episode 93

Hello, and welcome to episode 93 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast, I’m Chris Kirkbride. It is yet another busy week for financial crime. A range of stories across the whole of financial crime, with sanctions, fraud, and money laundering all vying for top spot. Also this week, Transparency International has published its annual Corruption Perceptions Index. We’ll also review this week’s cyber-attack news, with a huge story out of the US.
