To mark the summer season, we're bringing you some of our favourite episodes from The Laundry archives.
In this episode, originally published in November 2022, Marit Rødevand is joined by Viveka Strangert, former Chief Compliance Officer at Swedbank, to discuss: how a naive compliance culture opened the doors for money-laundering
In 2020, Viveka was known as the "whistleblower" in a massive money laundering scandal which saw Swedbank fined 4 billion SEK (€389.8m) by Sweden's financial watchdog for severe deficiencies in its AML processes and for withholding information from authorities investigating its role in the scandal.
Even if you're not familiar with this case, it's a fascinating insight into a scandal that rocked the banking sector and will resonate with audiences worldwide.
