WEBINAR SERIES<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is going on beneath the surface of the global financial system? According to the International Monetary Fund (2019), up to 37% of international transactions may be linked to illicit activities. Tackling this hidden economy requires operational insights and tools capable of navigating between legitimate activities and those that are merely disguised as such.<\/p>\n

The Georgetown Americas Institute<\/strong> and Transcrime – Universit\u00e0 Cattolica del Sacro Cuore<\/strong> invite you to a three-part virtual seminar series that unpacks the strategies, structures, and solutions driving the fight against financial crime.<\/p>\n

Are we all criminals? Are the strategies for laundering different when carried out by legitimate businesses or by criminal organisations?<\/p>\n
