Anti-Money Laundering Authority

AfD MEP Gunnar Beck claims to have been the only MEP to vote in favour of Frankfurt as the seat of the anti-money laundering authority. The message that resonates is that without him, the AMLA would never have come to Frankfurt. That is nonsense.

Just before the application deadline, Berlin raised its hand in Brussels in favor of Frankfurt as the location for the planned EU Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA). Finance Minister Lindner actively promoted the financial hub.
