Brent Wible, a veteran federal prosecutor whose latest stint at the Justice Department began in May 2020, has been appointed the section’s new chief, a Justice Department spokesman said. The Justice Department earlier this year announced the formation of an interagency task force dedicated to enforcing sanctions and other economic countermeasures imposed on Russia, dubbed Task Force KleptoCapture. The money-laundering section’s international unit has worked closely with the task force, officials say.

Британский художник бьет рекорды, его очередная работа была продана на торгах произведениями современного искусства Sotheby's в Лондоне всего за 8 минут. Картина британского художника Бэнкси Show Me The Monet («Покажи мне Моне») "ушла с молотка" на британском аукционе Sotheby’s за 7,6 миллиона фунтов стерлингов (9,8 миллиона долларов). На картине, написанной в 2005 году, Бэнкси творчески переосмыслил известную картину французского художника-импрессиониста Клода Моне "Японский мостик", изображающую пруд с кувшинками. Таким образом Бэнкси решил привлечь внимание к проблеме загрязнения окружающей среды. Таковой можно считать картину «Автономный парламент», где были изображены обезьяны вместо чиновников.
