Recommendation of the week
- This week's recommendation is for our french-speaking followers. France Financial Intelligence Unit, TRACFIN, published its 2020 annual report in a new format. Among other things, the report explained several ways through which money was laundered in France. It is a long but very interesting read if you have time. (Here)
- I have a personal announcement to make for this issue. I recently joined a FinTech startup called Airwallex to work on a range of sanctions related matters globally.
- Finally, I finish this issue by congratulating fans of Argentina and Italy national men's football teams on their championships in Copa America 2021 and Euro 2020.
