Anton Moiseienko is a Senior Lecturer in Law at the Australian National University. His work focuses on transnational crime, economic crime and cybercrime, as well as legal and policy aspects of targeted sanctions.
He is the author of Corruption and Targeted Sanctions, a monograph on the legal and policy implications of ‘Magnitsky’ laws. He has also co-edited four books on transnational crime. He is currently working on a book entitled Doing Business with Criminals: Law, Policy and Ethics, under contract with Cambridge University Press.
Anton's articles or essays have appeared in leading journals, including the American Journal of International Law, Criminal Law Review, European Journal of International Law, German Law Journal, International and Comparative Law Quarterly, Leiden Journal of International Law and Modern Law Review.
He was previously a Research Fellow at the Centre for Financial Crime and Security Studies of the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), a UK defence and security think-tank. While at RUSI, he led major multi-year research projects that explored the impact of technology on financial crime, as well as illicit trade risks in free-trade zones. He also published on a wide array of subjects including beneficial ownership transparency; corruption and fraud in the UK; and the financial footprint of cybercrime, cyber-enabled fraud and online IP piracy.
He gave testimony to the Australian Senate's Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade; the UK House of Commons' International Trade Committee; Canada's Commission of Inquiry into Money Laundering in British Columbia; and the Legal Committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. He also presented before multiple other UK agencies, including the Joint Money Laundering Intelligence Taskforce and the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Illicit Trade, as well as the EU's Freeze and Seize Task Force.
His consultancy experience includes advising the Stolen Asset Recovery Initiative, a joint programme of the World Bank and UN Office on Drugs and Crime, as well as consulting in connection with several UK government-funded projects.
