Catherine Schenk participates in Radio 4 documentary 'How to Steal a Trillion' (30 May)

You can hear excerpts from an interview with GloCoBank PI, Catherine Schenk in the first episode of a new BBC Radio 4 documentary 'How to Steal a Trillion' which looks at Britain's vital role in the growth of 'offshore' money laundering. The first episode 'The Invention of Offshore' traces the origins of offshoring back to the City of London in the 1950s.

A moment of inspiration fuses with the shock of the Suez Crisis to create the launch of a whole new approach to finance - with consequences that are still playing out right now.

For further details see programme link.

The episode will be broadcast on Radio 4 at 1.45pm on Monday 30 May, with further episodes at the same time daily for the rest of the week. All episodes will be available to listen to afterwards on BBC Sounds.
