Congress Passes Anti-Money Laundering Act over President’s Veto
On January 1, 2020, the Senate voted to override President Trump’s veto of the annual military policy bill (the National Defense Authorization Act – NDAA). Division E of the Act is the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 (the AMLA or Act), which contains a number of international enforcement elements. This post discusses selected international enforcement aspects, not including the beneficial owner/ entity transparency provisions, which are discussed in depth in the December 2020 issue of the International Enforcement Law Reporter.[1]
