(R)evolution of the AML landscape
Upcoming changes of the AML regulatory landscape
The fight against financial crime is entering a new era in the EU. With the adoption of the Sixth Anti-Money Laundering Directive (6AMLD), the Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR), and the AML Authority Regulation on May 31, 2024, the EU has completed its comprehensive AML/CFT package.
As a participant, expect to explore the practical implications of these reforms and debate whether they mark a fundamental shift in AML compliance or represent a more robust continuation of existing policies.
