Grenade attacks, kidnappings, young boys coerced into gang crime. This is all currently happening in Norway and it's causing a frenzy in the news.

But where there’s organised crime and violence – there is also dark money. Otherwise, why bother? 

Our expert host, Robin Lycka, is joined by Diamant Salihu, Investigative Journalist at SVT, to ask: How is organised crime and dark money infiltrating Norway? 

The pair discuss: the OCG playbook (including front companies and 'crime-as-a-service'), beyond the violence: what we are seeing in Norway, and what compliance professionals should be on the look out for.

Diamant's latest book, When Nobody's Listening: Inside Sweden's Drug Gangs, is available in English now!
