Episode 1 - The Background
Ray Blake & Graham Barrow · 6 January 2019
Episode notes
This is the first in a series of podcasts which explain in a non-technical way how "Dark Money" (e.g. money laundering, corruption, bribery, tax evasion) enters the financial system and infects everything it touches.
It explains what Dark Money is, why it matters and takes an early look at some of the challenges facing the banks and other financial institutions.
It also gives a flavour for some of the episodes still to come.
