The great anti-money laundering illusion
The global AML system is getting better at compliance — but is it getting better at stopping criminals? Dawn Pretorius challenges the effectiveness of the world's anti-money laundering architecture, drawing on FATF's own concerns about the gap between technical compliance and real-world outcomes. From ineffective risk-based approaches and beneficial ownership weaknesses to the broken link between suspicious transaction reports and criminal prosecutions, this episode asks a difficult question: Are we measuring the wrong things? And more importantly — is it time to completely rethink how the world fights money laundering? Connect with Dawn on LinkedIn · The Shepherds of Inequality · Beyond Play
