The eight candidates shortlisted for the executive leadership team of the European Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) are set to be interviewed by Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) on February 19. The following day, parliamentarians will determine their preferences for the five available positions on the AMLA Executive Board.
The interview process will be overseen by a joint panel comprising members from the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee (ECON) and the Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs Committee (LIBE). According to information obtained by AML Intelligence, the schedule is as follows:
February 19: ECON-LIBE will hold in-camera hearings with the shortlisted candidates.
February 20: ECON-LIBE coordinators will select their preferred candidates.
Mid-March (tentative): The AMLA General Board will issue a proposal.
End of March (tentative): ECON-LIBE will conduct public hearings with the proposed candidates, followed by an approval vote.
Once the ECON and LIBE committees finalize their selections, public hearings will be held with the proposed candidates, who must then secure approval from MEPs through a formal vote.
The AMLA Executive Board will consist of five members who will report directly to the organization’s Chair. Together, they will be responsible for overseeing the agency, implementing policies, and ensuring compliance with anti-money laundering regulations across the European Union.
AML Intelligence recently disclosed the shortlist for the AMLA executive leadership team, which includes five men and three women:
Mr. Costanzo (Italian)
Mr. Jan Reinder de Carpentier (Dutch)
Mrs. Eley (Slovak)
Mr. Krėpšta (Lithuanian)
Mrs. Petersen (Danish)
Mr. Marcus Pleyer (German)
Mrs. Derville Rowland (Irish)
Mr. Vega Serrano (Spanish)
The successful candidates will join the AMLA executive team under the leadership of Chair Bruna Szego, who was appointed to the position by the European Council last month.
