The Founder and Chair of the US National Whistleblower Centre has claimed pending money laundering and sanctions legislation will give the Treasury ability to “successfully track down” billions of dollars in dirty money passing through American banks.

Stephen M. Kohn, founding partner of whistleblower law firm Kohn, Kohn and Colapinto stressed that US Congress was “very close” to passing “urgently needed whistleblower protections targeting Russian money laundering and sanctions busting.”
