The One Where Svetlana Explains Sanctions Investigations

In this episode of Due Diligence Download, Sylwia and Amritha go beyond basic sanctions lists and dive into the real investigative work behind detecting sanctions evasion and avoidance. Our guest, Svetlana Djurdjevic -a leading sanctions expert-joins us to break down the fast-moving world of sanctions investigations. We explore where red flags truly come from, how investigators piece together onboarding data, internal records, media checks, and transaction patterns, and why speed and context matter more than ever. Svetlana also shares practical advice for compliance professionals, discusses the global shortage of sanctions expertise, and explains where technology can help (and where only human judgment will do).
