Bektour Iskender, journalist, co-founder of Kloop and TED Fellow, joined me at TED2022 to discuss his investigative reporting in Kyrgyzstan and the impact that his team&rsquos work had there.

Drago Kos, Chair of the OECD&rsquos Working Group on Bribery, and Dan Kahn, former head of the DOJ&rsquos FCPA Unit and now a partner in Davis Polk&rsquos DC office, wrap up our series on the OECD revised Recommendation with a focus on the very practical implications for companies.

Bill Steinman of Steinman & Rodgers joins the podcast to discuss the recent Opinion Procedure Release addressing extortionate demands. Bill also reviews the substantial grey area of emergencies involving the detention of personnel and confiscation of property that are arguably legal under local law.

Ryan Murphy, a partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers&rsquo Cyber, Risk & Regulatory Platform and lead on PwC's U.S. Investigations & Forensics Services Practice, joins the podcast to discuss audits: what the term means, what assurance they should and should not provide, and how they can be used for nefarious purposes.

This week on Bribe, Swindle or Steal, Yana Gorokhovskaia of Freedom House joins the podcast to talk about transnational repression, the increasingly common abuse and intimidation by states of their citizens living abroad. Yana discusses Jamal Khashoggi, murdered in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, and Roman Protasevich, whose plane was forced to land in Belarus where he is still being held, but also refers to the hundreds of other cases that don&rsquot make the news. Freedom House has released an excellent report on this problem: Out of Sight, Not Out of Reach.
