E165: How do we combat the professionalisation of money laundering?

The Laundry

Show Notes

What do you think is keeping anti-financial crime professionals up at night?

According to Nasdaq Verafin's latest Global Financial Crime Report, there's something more pressing than deepfakes or even AMLA.

It's money launderers growing up, graduating, and acting more like Fortune 500 companies than criminals.

Our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Kamlesh Harry, Principal Strategic Advisor of Fraud Solutions at Nasdaq Verafin, to ask: how do we combat the professionalisation of money laundering?

The pair discuss: what these money laundering networks actually look like, the human cost underneath the corporate language, and how we fight back with collective intelligence, AI, and FRAML.

Producer: Matthew Dunne-Miles Editor: Dominic Delargy
