From 15 to 18 December 2025, the Council of Europe's Committee of Experts on the Evaluation of Anti-Money Laundering Measures and the Financing of Terrorism (MONEYVAL) held its plenary meeting in Strasbourg. The meeting convened around 200 AML/CFT experts from approximately 50 jurisdictions and international organisations. It was chaired by Nicola Muccioli (San Marino) who was re-elected as the Committee's chair for a second mandate.

As important outcomes, the plenary adopted the 6th round mutual evaluation report on Serbia, the second country that was evaluated under the current evaluation cycle. With regard to the 5th evaluation round, the plenary adopted follow-up reports for Azerbaijan, Croatia, Estonia, Georgia, Montenegro, Poland and Slovakia. Czechia and Slovakia were removed from the Compliance Enhancing Procedures (CEPs) process, whereas it was proposed that Georgia remain in Step 1 of the CEP and that Poland also be placed in Step 1 of the CEPs.

The plenary also approved two typologies’ reports targeting ML/TF risks:

• Risks posed by virtual assets;
• Risks arising from armed conflicts.
