Financial Crime Weekly Episode 99

Hello, and welcome to episode 99 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast, I’m Chris Kirkbride. It is yet another busy week for financial crime, with content across all areas. Sanctions updates from the US and UK, a little money laundering news in terms of a consultation in the UK, and technical advice sought by the European Commission from the EBA. There’s also a wide range of bribery and corruption and fraud news, with the usual round-up of cyber-news this week. Lots to get through, so let’s crack on.

As usual, I have linked the main stories flagged in the podcast in the description. These are:
