In this episode, Kieran Beer interviews the award-winning Financial Times Investigations Correspondent, Tom Burgis, about his new book “Kleptopia: How Dirty Money is Conquering the World.” Burgis reveals how private bankers, law firms and intelligence groups help dictators, oligarchs as well as organized crime penetrate democracies and flood the global economy with dirty money.
Burgis has exposed major corruption scandals, covered terrorist attacks, coups and forgotten conflicts, and traced illicit money flows from the Kremlin to Washington.
