SOC ACE October 2026 Newsletter

In this issue, Olivia Allison joins RUSI’s Suspicious Transaction Report podcast to discuss financing war in the grey zone, and Cathy Haenlein speaks to RTÉ’s Morning Ireland about the Kinahan extradition. Professor Heather Marquette and Matthew Redhead explore why states outsource covert tasks to criminals, and we share SOC ACE’s evidence to the UK Parliament’s Russia inquiry. We also introduce two new projects and new research from the Myanmar–China borderlands, and look ahead to SOC ACE’s participation at #OC24 and the International Anti-Corruption Conference (IACC) 2026 in Punta Cana.
