Oliver Bullough part 1 of 2 – Criminals’ Paradise: Global Corruption Services in the Heart of London

Imagine a luxurious place where the world’s kleptocrats and criminals enjoy a permissive, unregulated financial system structured to help them move and hide their stolen funds with incredible ease. Such a place exists, and it’s called London, England. Journalist Oliver Bullough has spent the past several years investigating global financial crime, and the dark worlds of tax havens and shell companies, everywhere. But in his most recent book, Butler to the World, he dives into the shocking ways that the British government helps the criminal world’s worst people commit their crimes. The city of London, he tells us, is at the centre of it all as a one-stop shop for corruption services. Oliver's work is so fascinating we decided to do two episodes with him. In Part one, Oliver takes us through how Britain got into the butlering business in the first place, and the ways it benefits criminals. In part two, coming in March, Oliver examines what, if anything, can be done about it. First, join us to hear what he's uncovered about "How Britain Helps the World's Worst People Get Away with Anything." About the Show:BCG on Compliance is a podcast from Boston Consulting Group that explores today’s most pressing criminal trends and how compliance experts are adapting to counter those threats.As financial crimes become increasingly sophisticated, compliance can no longer be just a checkbox.
