Financial Crime Weekly Episode 74

Hello, and welcome to episode 74 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast, I’m Chris Kirkbride. After my first break from the podcast in almost a year-and-a-half, and the successful negotiation of mountains with the family, I get back to an enormous pile of financial crime news. Guys, summer is well and truly over. The wealth of the news comes from sanctions and money laundering, but the failure to prevent fraud issue in the UK has also come back to the news this week.
