Hard Bargain: Working in a regulated sector brings responsibilities
Manage episode 489626244 series 3647388
In this episode, Lindsey and Rachel cover the sentencing of UK art dealer for failing to report suspicion of terrorist financing when dealing with a sanctioned individual. Oghenochuko Ojiri, who was given two and a half years in prison, subscribed to an art market due diligence service, but did not heed its findings. Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb told Ojiri during sentencing: “These offences are so severe that only a custodial sentence can be justified. Working in a regulated sector brings responsibilities, but you closed your eyes to what you knew.”
Listen in for further insights from the sentencing.
