Stemming Financial Crime in Art and Antiquities, With Steve Schindler and Katie Wilson-Milne

In this episode of “Financial Crime Matters,” Kieran Beer talks with Steve Schindler and Katie Wilson-Milne, partners at New York litigation and art law boutique Schindler Cohen & Hochman LLP. They discuss the state of financial crime in the global antiquities and art world.

Charting some of the civil and criminal actions that have resulted in a recent wave of repatriations of artworks and antiquities from the world’s major museums, noted galleries and private collections, Schindler and Wilson-Milne also discuss the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network’s (FinCEN) recent extension of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing reporting responsibilities to antiquities dealers.

In laying out some of the red flags associated with illicit art and antiquities transactions Schindler and Wilson-Milne, who co-host “The Art Law Podcast,” also share their sense of where regulation of the two markets is headed in the U.S. and the world.
