Enhancing Economic Deterrence Through the Positive Impact of Sanctions
In our latest webinar we delved into the evolving landscape of UK sanctions, exploring how criminal actors seek to evade or circumvent their impact.
Our panel of experts in economic crime guided attendees through:
- Exploring the breadth of sanction regimes, and the array of organisations involved, as well as international coordination.
- Gaining insight into the pressing threat from Russia, the aims and strategies of Russia sanctions, and the concept of ‘Economic Deterrence’.
- Examining examples of operational successes and positive impacts, alongside the ongoing challenges posed by evasion, enablers, and regulatory complexity.
- Discovering how technology can bolster positive outcomes by enhancing intelligence gathering, fostering interoperability, and identifying opportunities for early disruption and prevention.
