We have published our Russia financial crime risk report, the latest in Themis’ series of country risk reports which explore the financial crime landscape in different jurisdictions. The report details the risks that Russia poses to the global financial system, exploring the extent of sanctions evasion, money laundering and predicate offences that originate in the country and impact other economies globally. We have convened a webinar with a panel of experts to discuss the report’s findings and promote discussion about what should be done by businesses in the financial services industry and beyond to protect themselves from Russia-related risk. We are privileged to be joined by the following speakers: • Valeriya Melnichuk - Vice President, Highgate • Henry Williams - Head of Investigations, Themis • Olga Lautman - Senior Fellow, Center for European Policy Analysis and Senior Investigative Researcher, IEI: Institute for European Integrity • Stephen Rae - Chair and Publisher, AML Intelligence • Matei Rosca - Reporter and Owner, Reporter.London, ex-Politico and S&P Global Market Intelligence. The webinar will take place at 12.30-1.30pm BST on Thursday 6th July and registration is open to all. All those who register will also receive a free copy of the Russia financial crime risk report ahead of the event.
