EU parliament approves anti-money laundering authority, what’s next?

This week on the Beyond the Byline podcast, we are looking at the anti-money laundering and terrorism financing reform approved by the European Parliament on March 28th.
Recent successive scandals such as Qatar gate and Danske Bank have led to calls for a more comprehensive and effective EU approach to monitoring money trails, the financing of terrorism and cracking down on illicit money laundering. How are these practices threatening the economy, the existing financial system and the fair market? And will this new authority be enough to tackle the problem?
We interviewed the rapporteurs of the file, MEPs Eva Maria Poptcheva and Eero Heinäluoma, as well as Roland Papp, Senior Policy Officer at Transparency International EU, in order to find some answers.
