Greatest Hits: AMLA's impact on financial crime in the EU

As a summer treat, we're bringing you some of the *top performing* episodes of The Laundry to date!

The Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Authority (AMLA) is the new entity aiming to transform AML and CFT supervision in the EU.

AMLA is gearing up to take on the 70% of criminal networks in the EU that use money laundering to fund their activities and conceal their assets.

Will this be the knock-out blow for these criminal gangs?

In this episode – originally published July 2024 – our expert host, Fredrik Riiser, is joined by the European Commission's Chiara Bacchi and Olena Loboiko.

They discuss: new legislation shaking up the EU's response to financial crime, what AMLA will look like, its impact on EU citizens and compliance professionals.

Producer: Matthew Dunne-Miles

Editor: Dominic Delargy

Engineers: Nicholas Thon and European Commission team.
