Financial Crime Weekly Episode 137

Hello, and welcome to episode 137 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast, I’m Chris Kirkbride. On sanctions, new designations from the US and UK, and Politico asks whether tariffs are the new sanctions. On money laundering, the National Crime Agency in the UK has disrupted a money laundering network supporting Russian oligarchs, while on bribery and corruption it’s global organisations leading the way once again with the OECD updating on corruption across five central Asian countries, and in the US McKinsey and Co (Africa) has agreed a DPA. The fraud news considers the launch of an investigation by the Covid-19 Corruption Commissioner in the UK, and news that the World Beekeeping Awards will not award for best honey next year. We finish this week with the usual round-up of cybercrime news.
