ACAMS Nordics Chapter: Sanctions- and money laundering risks that Russia poses to the Nordics

In the Nordics, Russia is classified in National Risk Assessments as one of the greatest risks and threats to national security. Nordic Financial Institutions and other actors might be exposed to Russia both directly and indirectly through e.g. having its borders to Russia and dealing in, and executing payments with other countries bordering Russia, but also other European countries. In addition, there are certain European countries that seems to be a preferred choice of Russian money laundering operations and sanctions evasions that Nordic companies also can be exposed to.
