E114: Has Trump just legalised bribery and corruption?

The Trump presidency throws out a new dramatic storyline every day.

But it’s time assess three big decisions that are important to those working in the AML, compliance, and financial crime sectors:

The Department of Justice has halted the enforcement of a US anti-corruption law that bars Americans from bribing foreign government officials to win business

Attorney General Pam Bondi closed down a unit focussed on prosecuting white-collar crime, kleptocrats, as well as tracking foreign efforts to influence U.S. elections

The US Treasury Department announced it will not enforce an AML law that obliges millions of business entities to disclose the identities of their real beneficial owners

Our expert host, Robin Lycka, is joined by Peter Geoghegan, Journalist and Director of Democracy for Sale, and Susan Hawley, Executive Director of Spotlight On Corruption, to ask: Has Trump just legalised bribery and corruption?

We also have a sound clip from: Scott Greytak, Director of Advocacy at Transparency International US.

The panel discuss: How these decisions change the status quo, he impact on AML, financial crime, and compliance efforts globally, and what comes next.
