Hello, and welcome to episode 130 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast, I’m Chris Kirkbride. Sanctions news has taken centre-stage this week, with the US issuing new designations across the range of usual suspects, while the UK has focussed on human rights abuse sanctions and the Russian oil tanker shadow fleet. On money laundering, the FATF may black list Russia, and has updated its criteria for ‘grey listing’. On bribery and anti-corruption Raytheon has agreed a DPA for fraud and breaches of the FCPA. On market abuse, ESMA has issued a consolidated report on sanctions and measures imposed by National Competent Authorities. There is also a brief round-up of cybercrime news this week.
