Enhancing Economic Deterrence Through the Positive Impact of Sanctions

How can we improve economic deterrence through the positive impact of sanctions?

Due to recent changes in government and our panellists’ involvement with new sanction strategies, we have decided to reschedule our upcoming webinar to Thursday, September 26th. This new date allows us to explore the current UK sanctions landscape and its global effects more thoroughly.

Join us on 26 September, 11AM BST for a live webinar as we delve into the evolving landscape of UK sanctions, exploring how criminal actors seek to evade or circumvent their impact. If you are already registered, there’s no need to register again for the new date. If you are unable to attend on the new date, we will send you the webinar recording after September 26th.

Our panel of experts in economic crime will guide attendees through:

• Exploring the breadth of sanction regimes, and the array of organisations involved, as well as international coordination.
• Gaining insight into the pressing threat from Russia, the aims and strategies of Russia sanctions, and the concept of ‘Economic Deterrence’.
• Examining examples of operational successes and positive impacts, alongside the ongoing challenges posed by evasion, enablers, and regulatory complexity.
• Discovering how technology can bolster positive outcomes by enhancing intelligence gathering, fostering interoperability, and identifying opportunities for early disruption and prevention.

Chair: Matt Horne, Director of Intelligence & Investigations – Clue Software

• Celestino Calabrese, Deputy Head of Illicit Finance Threat – National Economic Crime Centre, National Crime Agency
