The STG Talks, held weekly at the Florence School of Transnational Governance, serve as a space for discussion for the entire EUI community. Led by the Policy Leader Fellows, the Talks are a place for informal learning and exchange on global issues affecting different areas of policymaking.
In today’s fast-evolving digital landscape, crimes like Corruption, Fraud, Cybercrime, Tax Evasion, Organized Crime and money laundering are increasingly sophisticated crimes that pose serious threats to our global financial system. But why should we focus on money laundering? Why is it crucial to combat it?
Money laundering enables criminals to hide the origins of their illicit gains, which in turn fuels further crimes, weakens economies, and undermines public trust. In today’s digital age, advancements in digital payments make it easier for criminals to launder money across borders, often faster than regulatory bodies can react. This poses significant risks to financial institutions and society. That’s where regulators come in, playing a vital role in securing financial systems and combating these challenges.
But are current efforts enough? To help answer this question, our panel will present a real-world money laundering case study, followed by discussions from leading experts in AML, regulation, and digital payments.
In this STG Talk, participants will take part of the conversation, share their perspectives and contributions in shaping future responses to these emerging threats.
