Anton Moiseienko is an Associate Professor of Law and Research Director at the Australian National University Law School. His main areas of expertise are financial crime, including money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing, and the legal and policy aspects of economic sanctions.

He is the author of Doing Business with Criminals, a wide-ranging account of the objectives and history of financial crime rules published by Cambridge University Press in 2025, and Corruption and Targeted Sanctions, a monograph on ‘Magnitsky’ sanctions published by Brill in 2019. He has also co-edited four books on transnational crime, including the Research Handbook on Transnational Crime, and published in leading global law journals.

Anton gave testimony to Australia's Parliamentary Joint Committee on Law Enforcement; Australian Senate's Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade; UK House of Commons' International Trade Committee; Canada's Commission of Inquiry into Money Laundering in British Columbia (Cullen Commission); and Legal Committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe – all of which adopted his recommendations. He also briefed multiple government agencies and policymakers internationally, including the UK's Joint Money Laundering Intelligence Taskforce, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Illicit Trade, as well as the EU's Freeze and Seize Task Force.

He was previously a Research Fellow at RUSI's Centre for Finance and Security. In that capacity, 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.

Anton's consultancy experience includes advising the World Bank and UN Office on Drugs and Crime on beneficial ownership transparency; an overseas banking association on proliferation financing; a European law enforcement agency on counter-terrorism law; and multiple other private-sector and government-funded projects worldwide.
