Hello, and welcome to episode 143 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast, I’m Chris Kirkbride. The news is certainly starting to pick up now. There has been an increase in designations, principally from the US, though also from Australia. On money laundering news, MONEYVAL has issued an update on Bosnia and Herzegovina, while the FATF has published its Annual Report. On bribery and corruption news, the former Chief Operating Manager of Trafigura has been sentenced for his part in bribery, and GRECO has published its first report on Bulgaria. On fraud news, Comms Council UK (‘CCUK’) and National Trading Standards have launched a joint information-sharing initiative, and the Charity Commission has issued an alert for certain charities which may be caught by the new failure to prevent fraud offence. There is a round-up of other financial crime news, and some cybercrime news.
A transcript of this podcast is available at www.crimes.financial, with links to the stories.
