Following the invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Russia became the most-sanctioned country in the world – with more than 14,000 sanctions currently in place. Despite this, the intricate and undisclosed relationships between the Russian nationals and European businesses remain intact and active.This is best demonstrated by the story we’re focussing on today: a French businessman allegedly putting specialist microchips into the hands of the Russian military through a complex chain of transactions. In this week's episode – our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Financial Times journalists Max Seddon and Chris Cook.

You receive a call. Your account has been compromised – you need to move all your funds to a different secure account. The person on the other end is from "your bank" and ready to "help you out" - if you just give them all your banking information. We’ve all seen this situation play out – whether to ourselves, family members, or friends. The scam call is a universal problem - with  $10 billion stolen from senior citizens in the US in 2022 and 45 million UK citizens receiving texts or calls in the space of three months. So can this hugely lucrative scam industry be stopped? In this week's episode – our host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Neira Jones, Consultant and Panel Member of the Payment Systems Regulator, and Veronica Glab, Head of Partnerships at Innovate Finance. The panel discuss: the issue of scam calls and texts for financial services of all kinds, the biggest challenges in tackling this issue, and whether we can ever truly kill the scam call.
