The European Anti-Money Laundering Authority: goals, prospects and challenges

The conference ‘The European Anti-Money Laundering Authority: goals, prospects and challenges’, organized by the Bank of Italy and the Financial Intelligence Unit for Italy to delve into issues concerning the establishment of the European Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA), was held in Rome on 10 November.

The conference was an opportunity for national and international representatives from academia and national and international institutions to discuss the main changes introduced by the AML package, i.e. the pieces of legislation that are currently in the process of being adopted at EU level to strengthen the EU's anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing measures.
