The Geneva AG recorded one of the most high-profile white-collar crime convictions of recent times. GIR's @SamllFry visited Olivier Jornot to discuss his office's processes and priorities, and criticisms of a controversial corporate settlement tool. https://t.co/AEPYdZ3AVZ

GIR, the FT and the Guardian, represented by @rcfp, have asked a US court to unseal a pair of sentencing memos in the case against Saman Ahsani for his role in the Unaoil bribery scandal. https://t.co/D9BIMca6Lt

One of the world's biggest oil corruption scandals will come to a partial close on Monday as one of its masterminds - Saman Ahsani - is sentenced in Houston.

But there's an alarming veil of secrecy being thrown over the case. 1/7

Well here is a truly stupid idea - to ban foreign nationals and entities from filing #FOIA requests. Adds unnecessary hurdles and would make FOIA worse for everyone.

Hope Sens @SenatorLeahy and @ChuckGrassley put a quick stop to this idiocy

"Some women who have complained about mistreatment, such as bullying, unfair treatment, or offensive sexual advances, found HR to be unhelpful or hostile, in some cases moving women to other roles or pushing them out of the company entirely, several people said."

FinCEN’s acting director Himamauli Das told lawmakers today that the anti-money laundering unit is missing deadlines because it doesn’t have enough resources. https://t.co/6jM1RgHUpZ

[katebeioley_Ft @KateBeioley_FT]

ICYMI - the SFO has outsourced disclosure in its G4S case to a private company after catastrophic failures with its own processes - this is a big deal - esp after the director told MPs in Feb it would be “a lot more expensive” to outsource https://t.co/pykSuyp8AG

[Marieke Breijer @breijer]

The SFO’s interest in UK companies’ dealings in Ecuador was made public at least a year ago. https://t.co/COlK27qo8m

ICYMI: wrote a thing for @guardianopinion on the root causes of the "cost of living crisis", drawing on great work by @L__Macfarlane @matthewstoller @Cmmonwealth and Brett Christophers. Thanks @paulkilbey for helpful comments. https://t.co/cInfPMBjOK

I’ve been following the pay discourse on this site for a while & think it’s important for the movement toward salary transparency (particularly vis a vis gender & race) to continue to grow, so here’s my account.. #internationalwomensday 1/

[Emily Thornberry @EmilyThornberry]

From Rishi Sunak writing off £4.3bn in Covid fraud, Lord Agnew resigning in protest, and Kwasi Kwarteng saying fraud is a crime that doesn’t affect people’s day to day lives, you may think you’ve heard it all recently. But you might not have heard of Ziad Akle. If so, read on 1/9

[Guy Chazan @GuyChazan]

The FT’s deep dive into Axel Springer is a must-read. One particularly shocking fact - Julian Reichelt, the Bild editor being probed for misconduct, apparently received updates during the investigation that enabled him to identify many of the witnesses. https://t.co/LCMdzS7dPp

[Marieke Breijer @breijer]

@guypewsey I can still hear you singing this around the house.

[GIR @GIRalerts]

A series of management departures at the Fraud Section has raised concerns about a revolving door between the DOJ’s premier corporate enforcement unit and the private sector. “Money is a big part of it,” said one former DOJ lawyer. @InesKagubare

The ZTE compliance monitorship, which defied convention from the start after a federal judge in 2017 abandoned regular selection processes to install his own candidate, seems to have gone from a headscratcher to a full-on headache.

Nice one @dgtokar

I delved into an east London employment tribunal that’s cast a light on BP’s powerful but little-discussed oil trading division and the increasingly contentious practice of working with international middlemen to win business https://t.co/AanmymxNjJ
