Hello, and welcome to this week in financial crime. I’m your host, Chris Kirkbride. As ever with financial crime, there is always decent range of stories to ensure that things never get boring. A little bit on sanctions, but I still cover it first. Secondly, some interesting cyber initiatives announced, together with some announcements relating to combatting financial crime from a professional body and the DoJ in the US. And, we end this week with some bits and pieces on money laundering. 

These are the links to the principal documents mentioned in the podcast:
