Anti-Money Laundering Risks for Global Companies (Part I of III) BY  MICHAEL VOLKOV  · NOVEMBER 27, 2017 Non-financial institution companies operating in the global marketplace face ever-increasing risks of money laundering. Sophisticated criminal organizations have developed their own mechanisms and strategies to skirt money laundering rules and regulations. The Justice Department has targeted transnational organized crime for investigation and prosecution.

The two executives eventually lost their bid to suppress certain statements made during an internal investigation interview by the company.  But they continue to battle DOJ. Their efforts led the trial judge to take the extraordinary step of effectively forcing DOJ to help the defense secure exculpatory overseas evidence through a mutual legal assistance treaty or MLAT. The case is an example of how a trial judge can exercise discretion to help ensure a fair trial simply by refusing to take what DOJ lawyers say at face value. It’s also a master class in persistent lawyering; by refusing to abandon the b...
