Episode notes

Join Hatti Suvari and specialist financial crime Barrister Garry Pons for this incredibly insightful conversation on financial crime. Our UK statistics show that in 2019 over £90 billion was the amount of money that was fraudulently obtained and used. Hatti and Gary breakdown the meaning of financial crime, account forfeiture and freezing orders, how the law is implemented and enforced by the authorities, what can be considered as a financial crime, what the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 is all about, as well as the Criminal Finances Act 2017. In this conversation they also discuss the activities that can be considered as money laundering and fraudulent, and options that you could consider taking, if you are trying to obtain monies that have been seized and detained by the authorities. They also bring you insightful information on travelling to and from the UK with cash, how to declare it, and why cash could potentially be confiscated during international travel. A seriously informative discussion on this technical area of law, broken down for you to understand.
