Tackling Illicit Finance: The videocast series

Episode summary

Illicit finance is a huge global problem, affecting the global economy and society, and directly impacting people’s lives, and the consequences are often brutal. In the second videocast in our Tackling Illicit Finance series, Katie Jackson and Sir Mark Rowley discuss the scale and complexity of illicit finance and why, despite continued investment, we have so far failed to stem the issue. Drawing on some of Sir Mark’s policing and counter terrorism experience, they also consider how different parts of the ecosystem could and should work together in different ways to improve outcomes.
