Show Notes
What’s the key skill in fighting financial crime? Most people would say a head for data, spreadsheets and analytics.
But maybe it’s walking past a florist that’s open at midnight and wondering: who’s buying roses at this hour?
We put that kind of thinking to the test on the streets of Oslo, looking at how the world around us can be used to launder money.
Robin Lycka is joined by Asia Holt, Fincrime Domain Lead at Strise, for a money laundering walking tour.
They discuss the tourism industry, car washes, and the financial system it all ends up in.
