Welcome to episode 276 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast. I am Chris Kirkbride. In this episode, OFAC has issued new counter-terrorism designations and updated Russia-related diamond import licences. In the UK, the FCDO has made corrections to UK sanctions, and OTSI has published its first annual review. On money laundering, the UK NCA has forfeited funds from a company over suspected money laundering and sanctions evasion. On fraud enforcement, in the US, there are indictments for an alleged benefit fraud scheme, sentencing of three in a fraud conspiracy, and federal indictment for coordinated deed theft and vehicle title fraud schemes. Finally, the UK FCA has fined and banned former senior executives for operating an artificial £35.5 million investor visa circumvention scheme.

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