E61: Why the UK should pay attention to the Economic Crime Plan 2

Let's face it. When it comes to money laundering – the UK is a serious player! If money laundering was an olympic sport – research suggests that the UK would be on the podium with a silver medial – only trumped by Team USA! But now, a group of politicians are looking to fight that reputation with a new bill – currently passing through the Houses of Parliament. In this week's episode – our host, Marit Rødevand , is joined by Dame Margaret Hodge , Member of Parliament for Barking. They discuss the Economic Crime Bill, the potential impact on the UK, and how political power can help fight financial crime. Producer: Matthew Dunne-Miles Engineers: Dominic Delargy, Nicholas Thon
