Welcome to episode 273 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast. I am Chris Kirkbride. In this episode, on sanctions, the UK Foreign Office updates counter-terrorism designations, and the US government sanctions members of the ICC. On money laundering, there is a 15-year sentence for a Chinese money launderer. Moving to fraud and bribery, there is the arrest of a public official over alleged pandemic relief fraud, the conviction of a former New Mexico State Representative and her associate for bribery and money laundering, and charges in an alleged subprime auto loan securitisation fraud. Finally, the Maldives ICO has a new five-year strategic plan, the UK FCA issues permanent bans and fines against former asset management executives for fabricating a €200 million bond portfolio, and there is a cyberattack on the French tax agency.

A transcript of this podcast, with links to the stories, will be available at www.crimes.financial.
