EU AML Framework 2025

The European Union will implement a transformative AML framework in July 2025, taking a significant step in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing. This new package, already adopted in 2024 in response to persistent vulnerabilities in the financial system and the complexity of cross-border risks, offers an ambitious overhaul of the regulatory landscape.

EU’s 15th Sanctions Package

Russia’s persistent efforts to bypass the oil price cap have prompted the European Union to take decisive action in its 15th sanctions package. This new set of measures targets loopholes that have enabled Russia to continue exporting oil and sustaining its revenues. By blacklisting 52 additional vessels—bringing the total to 79—the EU is focusing on Russia’s shadow fleet, a network of aging, underregulated ships central to its evasion strategies. This initiative has the potential to increase the cost and complexity of sanctions evasion while addressing the significant safety and environmental concerns associated with these high-risk vessels.
