Financial Crime Weekly Episode 127

Hello, and welcome to episode 127 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast, I’m Chris Kirkbride. Another shorter episode this week, so I think we can all be pleased about that. On sanctions news, new designations from the US and UK, and even a bit of enforcement action from the UK. On money laundering, the FATF has published its MER on India, OPBAS in the UK has published its fifth report on Professional Body Supervisors, while the Egmont Group has suspended Columbia from membership over breach of confidence. On bribery and corruption news, GRECO has published its report on the Republic of Ireland, and the Mayor of NYC has been charged with bribery offences. The fraud news brings confirmation from the UK of the APP fraud reimbursement limit, and there is a range of Covid-19 fraud news. There are some other bits and pieces and a limited bit of cybercrime news.
