E61: Why the UK should pay attention to the Economic Crime Bill

Let’s face it. When it comes to money laundering – the UK is a serious player! If money laundering was an olympic sport – research suggests that the UK would be on the podium with a silver medial – only trumped by Team USA! But now, a group of politicians are looking to fight that reputation with a new bill – currently passing through the Houses of Parliament. In this week's episode – our host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Dame Margaret Hodge, Member of Parliament for Barking. They discuss the Economic Crime Bill, the potential impact on the UK, and how political power can help fight financial crime.Producer: Matthew Dunne-MilesEngineers: Dominic Delargy, Nicholas Thon____________________________________The Laundry podcast: Dive deep into the intricacies of financial crime, AML (anti-money laundering), compliance, sanctions, and the ever-evolving landscape of financial regulation.Hosted by Marit Rødevand and Fredrik Riiser – this podcast features renowned experts from sectors such as banking, fintech, compliance, and investigative journalism.Together, they shed light on the industry's trending topics, analyse mainstream news through a compliance-focused lens, and connect the fight against financial crime to its real-world consequences and ramifications.The Laundry is proudly produced by Strise, an AML intelligence system.Get in touch at: [email protected] to our newsletter, Fresh Laundry, here.
