Dear readers,
it is time for another edition of the ALL AML Infobrief, in which we share the latest news from the world of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing.
Germany has intensified its fight against organised crime, and BaFin has highlighted elevated AML/CFT risks in payments, crypto assets and sanctions evasion. New reporting rules have been introduced for suspicious activity reports, and an updated list of high-risk countries has been published. At the EU level, the AMLA has set out its strategic priorities for the period 2026–2028, and has opened several consultations on AML/CFT standards. The broader international context is covered too, with updates on FATF and US risk assessments, new EU sanctions and anti-terrorism measures, and key findings on crypto crime, virtual asset risks and cyber threats.
Our podcast Integrity Insights has published new episodes that are definitely worth listening to. And finally we also would like to cordially invite you to the conference “10 Years ACAMS Germany Chapter” taking place in Berlin on 6 May 2026 at 1 pm.
We hope you find this edition insightful and enjoy reading it!
Your ALL AML Team
