E169: Is AMLA *really* on track?

The Laundry

Show Notes

No one said building a regulator from the ground up would be easy.

But when the organisation chair, Bruna Szego, describes it as like ‘flying a plane while building it’ – you have to wonder how things are going on the ground.

Our expert host, Robin Lycka, is joined by Carlo Boffa, EU Correspondent for AML Intelligence, to ask: Is AMLA really on track?

The panel discuss: what AMLA looks like from Frankfurt, whether cracks are starting to show, and what compliance teams should expect by July 2027.
