Hello, and welcome to episode 80 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast, I’m Chris Kirkbride. Sanctions and money laundering news take our focus this week, because there is not a lot of noise from the other typical areas of financial crime. Yes, there is a little on bribery and corruption, but even cyber-attack news is quiet this week. Still, that’s not stopped us before, and it is not about to stop us now.

As usual, I have linked the main stories flagged in the podcast in the description. These are:
