FATF President Dr. Marcus Pleyer will give the keynote address to the AML Intelligence Global Action on Money Laundering online event next week, it’s been announced.
This exclusive roundtable discussion will highlight the work done by AML professionals to crack down on money laundering and financial crime, and will include lively discussion by high profile FinCrime professionals.
Dr. Pleyer became President of the Financial Action Task Force last July and serves as Deputy Director General at Germany’s Federal Ministry of Finance.
Publisher and chairman of AML Intelligence, Stephen Rae today welcomed the news the FATF President will speak at the event. “We are delighted to have Dr Pleyer join what is going to be an unmissable event and deliver the Keynote Address. Dr Pleyer is one of the foremost international leaders combating financial crime and it will be important to hear what he has to say on how financial institutions and law enforcement can gain the upper hand against the constantly evolving threat to the integrity of the financial system posed by organised crime,” Stephen said.
Dr. Pleyer has previously criticised countries for what he described as “huge gaps” that currently exist between “FATF standards” and the “reality on the ground”. He has championed for FATF members to “lead by example” in the fight against money laundering and financial crime.
In his role as FATF President, Dr. Pleyer regularly address the G20 and G7 on the risks of money laundering, most recently in November 2020 where he urged G20 countries to show leadership in its regulation of money laundering, and by doing so they would “spur others into action”.
