Money Laundering

When is an act considered as money laundering? Joras provides insights into this criminal activity. With a playful thought experiment, he shows you how creative criminals can become. Through knowledge about these practices, you’ll gain insights that are applicable in the "legal" world and at the same time you’ll learn about the politicisation of money laundering, the geopolitical complexity and its consequences for the rest of the economy. Join Joras in this session and learn about money laundering.
