About the event

We’ve all heard of shadowy figures hoarding ill-gotten wealth, but how does this dirty money infiltrate global economies? This show dives into the murky waters of kleptocracy—where corrupt leaders, criminals, and oligarchs stash and launder billions, often in plain sight. Discover how this hidden wealth erodes public trust, props up authoritarian regimes, and destabilised democratic countries. This session will give you an eye-opening look at how dirty money flows through international banking systems, influencing everything from elections to real estate prices in cities like London and New York. If you want to know how the world's richest criminals operate—and what it means for the rest of us—this is the event to attend.
