About this course

What the 6AMLD course covers

This course covers the Sixth Anti-Money Laundering Directive (6AMLD) in seven microlessons. 6AMLD uses criminal law to harmonize money laundering offenses across the EU. The course explains why it was introduced, the 22 predicate offenses (with a focus on cybercrime and environmental crime), criminal liability for organizations, the four-year penalty floor and aiding and abetting rules, closing the dual criminality loophole, and recognizing red flags in practice.
