Financial Crime Weekly Episode 72

Hello, and welcome to episode 72 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast, I’m Chris Kirkbride. It’s been a middling week this week on the financial crime front. Quite a bit of sanctions activity, with news of another challenge to designation in the UK, and more sanctions from the US relating to the supply of arms to the Russian war machine. On fraud, a bit of legacy news from the US and the global financial crisis – remember that? – as well as news that fraudsters are impersonating the FATF. There’s also a bit on money laundering, bribery, and a round-up of cyber-attack news this week.

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