Summary/Abstract: The analysis of the results from the implementation of the rules for combating money laundering and terrorist financing in the European Union shows that the current system is both ineffective and insufficient. This necessitates that prevention and supervision be elevated to a higher, unified level across the entire European Union. To achieve this goal, in 2024, the Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) was established. The article analyzes its powers regarding the supervision of entities in the financial sector; the monitoring, analysis, and exchange of information on potential risks; as well as the coordination and oversight of the activities of supervisory institutions and financial intelligence units within the EU.
