E106: Hiding in plain sight: the enablers of financial crime

The Laundry

One of the dirtiest secrets of financial crime and money laundering is that there is a whole professional network of facilitators or enablers who help run the whole thing.

Without these experts, many criminals wouldn’t have the first idea about how to conceal their funds, dodge sanctions, or wash their criminal earnings.

These enablers are hiding in plain sight…and there is NOTHING we can do about it! Or can we?

Our expert host, Robin Lycka, is joined by Maíra Martini, Head of Policy and Advocacy at Transparency International, and Kristin Nordland Brattli, Partner at Wikborg Rein, to ask: how can we stop the enablers of financial crime?

The panel discuss: how this networks works and operates, the challenges in stopping it, and the potential solutions in tackling this issue.
