Tommaso Di Ruzza appeared on the latest episode of AML Intelligence’s Collared podcast, “Cinema, Fine Art, and Fraud,” for a conversation with host Dee Reddy on how criminals exploit the art market’s high-value deals, hazy valuations, and emphasis on privacy to launder illicit funds.
In the episode, Tommaso—former head of the Vatican City’s Financial Intelligence Unit and currently a senior director at K2 Integrity—examines the delicate balancing act required to regulate the art world while preserving its legitimate commercial and cultural activity.
Tommaso and Dee also discuss how the sector’s secrecy can be misused by bad actors and consider how financial crime risks in areas such as fine art and cinema can be identified and addressed.
