Poliitico (15 October 2024)

Italy, Germany and the Netherlands are on the short list for an EU top job running the bloc’s new anti-money laundering body, according to multiple officials.

Italy’s Bruna Szego, Germany’s Marcus Pleyer, and Jan Reinder De Carpentier of the Netherlands are the remaining three candidates in the race, the officials, who were granted anonymity to speak candidly about the race, told POLITICO.

The Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) will supervise cross-border finance companies that are at high risk of money laundering and terrorism financing, and will have the power to issue millions of euros in fines. The AMLA office will open in Frankfurt in early 2025, and will be fully functional by 2028.
