SOC ACE Webinar to launch new research paper - ‘Looting Mariupol: Russia’s use of illicit finance and economic crime in occupied Ukraine’

Who benefits from Russia's occupation of Ukraine? Russia's economic activities in the occupied territories are characterised by widespread corruption and profiteering off billions spent without accountability and illicit seizures of Ukrainian businesses, many of which may be war crimes. These activities create new networks and bolster vested interests, often linked to Russian security services.

Join researcher, Olivia Allison (University of Exeter/RUSI) and moderator, Tom Keatinge, Director of the Centre for Finance and Security at RUSI, for the online launch of new SOC ACE-supported research paper, ‘Looting Mariupol: Russia’s use of illicit finance and economic crime in occupied Ukraine’ on Wednesday 14 May at 13:00 (BST).

Following a 40-minute discussion, participants can engage with the panellists through a 20-minute Q&A.
