Oslo is the centre of global attention this week as the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize was presented, in absentia, to Maria Corina Machado – for her work promoting democratic rights in Venezuela.
Venezuela is currently ranked as one of the most corrupt countries globally by Transparency International, struggling with widespread issues like money laundering, narco/terror financing, and international sanctions.
In this episode, your Laundry hosts – Marit Rødevand, Fredrik Riiser, and Robin Lycka – are revealing: how financial crime is a threat to peace.
The panel discuss: how the movement of dark money has real world consequences, how corruption erodes trust in governments, and whether compliance can lead to a safer world.
