Article summary

This week's edition of Corporate Crime weekly highlights includes analysis of the key manifesto pledges relating to criminal justice and financial crime, of how financial services firms suspected of serious wrongdoing could soon find themselves subject to joint investigations by the UK's white-collar crime prosecutor and financial watchdog and of how a Court of Appeal judgment on UK anti-money laundering powers could mean greater scrutiny on the extent of illicit goods flowing through companies' supply chains. Also included is news of updates to the online magistrates’ court sentencing guidelines, of new and updated OFSI General licences and the acquittal of a former fuel trader of fraud and money laundering charges. All this, and more, in this week’s Corporate Crime highlights.
