This seminar will address the current European anti-money laundering landscape and focus on the changes implemented since the adoption of the fourth, fifth and sixth Anti-Money Laundering Directives and the new Directive on enhancing FIU cooperation and access to financial information.

It will highlight the forthcoming EU legislative AML/CFT proposals on a single rule book, EU-level supervisor and EU coordination and support mechanism for FIUs. It will also look at national challenges and actions that have been taken to address money laundering and terrorist financing, with a particular focus on the role of competent authorities, law enforcement and judiciary.
