From Framework to Action: The EU Single AML Rulebook and AMLA in Practice // Litigation, Arbitration and Investigations

Episode 8: New EU anti-money laundering regime In Episode 8, Paloma Fierro and Stefaan Loosveld look at how the new EU anti‑money laundering package will work in practice. They explain the shift to a Single AML Rulebook with directly applicable rules across all Member States, the creation of AMLA as a powerful EU supervisor for up to 40 major financial institutions, and key changes such as lower customer due diligence thresholds, extended requirements for politically exposed persons and stricter rules for high‑risk countries and correspondent banking. They also highlight AMLA’s robust enforcement powers and why firms need to start impact and gap analyses now, well ahead of the 2027 and 2028 go‑live dates.
