In this talk, Robert Palmer looks at how dictators and corrupt politicians use the global financial system to loot government coffers accept bribes and spend the proceeds of corruption on a life of luxury. Using Global Witness’ case studies Palmer looks at the complex relationship between a country’s natural resources, corruption and conflict. He includes the recent revelation of which banks held Libyan state funds and explains the role of the financial sector in facilitating corruption and how to uncover it.
