Financial Crime Weekly Episode 161

Hello, and welcome to episode 161 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast – midweek edition – I’m Chris Kirkbride. In this first midweek episode, we cover significant developments in global sanctions, money laundering enforcement, and anti-corruption efforts. From the US imposing sanctions on ICC judges and Iran’s shadow banking network to a global coalition imposing sanctions on two Israeli politicians. We also look at Argentina’s Anti-Corruption Office clearing President Milei in the LIBRA scandal, Russia’s arrest of the Krasnoyarsk mayor on bribery charges, and the EU updating its list of high-risk financial crime jurisdictions.

A transcript of this podcast, with links to the stories, will be available on Thursday at www.crimes.financial.
