Elements of Failure and Success in Global and Local Anti-Money Laundering

Elements of Failure and Success in Global and Local Anti-Money Laundering

Anti-money laundering remains a crucial global topic, not least in light of the upcoming publication of the new EU anti-money laundering package expected for 12 May 2021. This is why Jo and Glenn invited a real AML guru, their new business partner, Mari-Liis Kurg, Founder and CEO of COMPLOK, to discuss the status quo of regulation, enforcement as well as the need for a holistic approach and universal cooperation to combat money laundering. What better than to #AskMariLiis who has 15 years of experience in the heavily regulated financial sector including large, complex, global financial institutions such as SEB & Swedbank in Estonia. Remember the biggest money laundering scandal to hit the EU?
