Fixing Brazil: Operation Lava Jato and How it Has Forever Changed Latin America

In this episode, we’re going to discuss Lava Jato or Operation Car Wash – the largest and most complex corruption investigation in the history of Brazil which to date has spread to 11 countries, mostly in Latin America. When the Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development – the OECD – published the Foreign Bribery Report in 2014 examining corruption enforcement across the world, Brazil was credited with zero corruption prosecutions.

EMBARGOED! Episode 30: Waving the White Flag on Nord Stream 2?

Brian and Tim kick off this episode by digging in to the implications of the newly announced U.S. sanctions targeting the Nord Stream 2 project and why they may amount to an admission of defeat. Next, we check in on the seemingly imminent JCPOA 2.0, the latest court challenge to the CCMC List, and a recent report issued pursuant to the Hong Kong Autonomy Act. Finally, in the Lightning Round, we consider OFAC’s ransomware guidance following recent high profile attacks and share our initial thoughts on the possible fallout from the diversion of a Ryanair flight by Belarus to arrest an opposition journalist.
