On 28 April, doctoral candidates Eirini Botza<\/a>, Flora Jung<\/a>, and Nicole Visco Comandini<\/a> delivered insightful presentations of their doctoral research during an inspiring workshop with Professor Ester Herlin-Karnell from the University of Gothenburg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eirini started off by evaluating the establishment of the Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) in 2024 as a potential breakthrough in the EU’s fight against financial crime and explored ways to effectively formulate a set of governing principles acting as constitutional limits and ensuring that the framework as a whole remains complaint with fundamental rights.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flora then addressed the connection between anti-money laundering and environmental crimes in the private sector, seeking ways to best balance effective enforcement against environmental crimes using Anti-Money Laundering (AML) systems with the prevention of overcompliance by private-sector actors.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, Nicole presented her research in EU financial criminal law, focusing on the limitations of traditional conviction-based enforcement against serious and organised crime and analysing how recent EU asset recovery measures impact the presumption of innocence as a core criminal law principle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to Professor Herlin-Karnell for her feedback and guidance and to our doctoral candidates for a thought-provoking session!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n
