The European Union's Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AMLA) announced that it has signed a lease for new office space in Frankfurt’s MesseTurm, establishing its first official seat and a permanent presence in the city. AMLA will occupy the tower’s top floors and said the premises will provide modern office infrastructure to support collaborative working. The agency noted it has been hosted in the building since the start of the year and that the lease formalises its long-term stay, with Chair Bruna Szego pointing to plans to deepen AMLA’s connection with Frankfurt.
