The Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AMLA) published an update welcoming the Council of the European Union’s decision to appoint Hennie Verbeek-Kusters as the fifth member of AMLA’s Executive Board, completing its five-member composition. Verbeek-Kusters joins from the Netherlands’ Financial Intelligence Unit, which she has led since 2008, and has twice served as Chair of the Egmont Group of Financial Intelligence Units. AMLA Chair Bruna Szego highlighted her financial intelligence background and said it would support AMLA’s work to build a coherent anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism framework across Europe.
