Welcome to episode 215 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast. I am Chris Kirkbride. In this episode, we lead with significant global sanctions updates, including a multilateral warning regarding North Korean cyber-enabled sanctions evasion and the US designation of several Muslim Brotherhood branches as terrorist organisations. We also look at major legal developments, such as the five-year money laundering sentence handed to Georgia’s former Prime Minister, Irakli Garibashvili, and a landmark UK High Court ruling affirming the continued enforceability of the Guralp Systems DPA. Furthermore, we consider federal charges against a former New York City official for bribery and PPP fraud, as well as the US government’s civil forfeiture action against cryptocurrency tied to a "pig-butchering" scam. Finally, we cover MONEYVAL’s assessment of Poland’s crypto-asset safeguards, a significant guilty plea in a multimillion-dollar insider trading scheme, and the FCA’s successful confiscation order against the fraudster behind the collapsed platform Collateral (UK) Ltd.
A transcript of this podcast, with links to the stories, will be available at www.crimes.financial.
