The horrific situation in Ukraine has had wide-ranging impacts and implications across the world, not least the fight against economic crime. 

In the UK, this is a huge undertaking. Will the new Economic Crime Act make a difference? Solicitor and economic crime specialist Matt Corn discusses the climate for economic crime in the UK and how the new Act will work in the context of existing UK law.
