Following on from our 2021 podcast on the European Commission’s AML/CFT legislative package, this new podcast will focus on the progress made to the proposed Regulation for a new AML Authority since its publication a year ago.

In this podcast, Janina Heinz (Financial regulatory Counsel based in Frankfurt), Marcel Michaelis (White-collar defence, compliance and global investigations Associate, based in Berlin) and Victor Garcia Lopez (EU Regulatory and Public Affairs Consultant, based in Brussels) analyse the developments that have taken place over the last 12 months around this piece of legislation. They provide updates on where this initiative stands in the EU legislative procedure, the main tasks and powers of the new authority, as well as the key points for industry players and market participants to consider.
