Financial Crime Weekly Episode 25

Hello, and welcome to this week in financial crime. I’m your host, Chris Kirkbride. A reasonably quiet week this week. Some decent money laundering stories, especially around the publication in the UK of the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Bill, some updated sanctions news, and a little bit on fraud. Hope not to detain you unduly today.
