Joydeep Sengupta joins leading lawyers across several European jurisdictions to discuss recent developments in anti-money laundering in Europe, including the recent enactment of new laws, the establishment of a pan-European anti-money laundering authority, evolving best practices in AML compliance, as well as trends in enforcement actions in Europe.
