Dirty money and the abuse of privilege - Professor Adam Gearey

#BirkbeckVoices

Welcome to Big Ideas, a podcast series to accompany Birkbeck’s free public lecture series, where academics bring their research out to local communities around London, sharing the exciting and innovative work that happens at Birkbeck, and opening up the world of research and universities. The series is organised by Birkbeck’s Access and Engagement team, who support underrepresented groups of people to apply and succeed in study here at Birkbeck, University of London. In this podcast we meet Professor Adam Gearey from Birkbeck's School of Law. He argues that the offshore industry has been used to conceal staggering amounts of money and assets in such a way as to make them invisible to national governments, and that there is very little distinction between dirty and clean money. Adam's talk will take place on 18 June 2019 at City and Islington College‘s Centre for Lifelong Learning in Finsbury Park.
