State actors or terrorist organizations have for decades used and abused growing sophisticated money laundering solutions to support different kinds of armed operations across the world, putting in peril the security of any given country and its citizens. The capacity to deter this standing threat is paramount within the framework of the EU security and defence dimensions.
The Renew Europe webinar will address the impact on EU security of the several aspects of money laundering. It will identify its key actors and potential threats, as well as the use of blockchain platforms to bypass the EU’s existing monitoring and control systems, and will discuss possible ways to successfully tackle these challenges.
