The guest lecture will be led by Toms Platacis, Deputy Head of the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), and Paulis Iljenkovs, Deputy Head of the Strategic Analysis Division of the Financial Intelligence Unit.

The dark side of money is financial crime, which is not just the work of an isolated group of people. Financial crime affects everyone, both individually and society as a whole.
