🌎 A New Map of Illicit Global Financial Networks and Regulation A research paper has been recently published by the University of Sussex analyzing the evolution of hashtag #GlobalIllicitFinancialNetworks and mapping how they have adapted to changes in international regulations, including sanctioned financial flows and those linked to hashtag #corruption cases. One of the key findings is the increasing shift of these activities from London to Dubai and Hong Kong. The hashtag #report also highlights significant deficiencies in the United States and China regarding hashtag #antimoneylaundering and financial transparency.
