Sanctions & settlements Journalists Listed companies and issuers The AMF Enforcement Committee clears three individuals and one legal entity for insider dealing breaches
The AMF Enforcement Committee dismissed insider dealing charges against three individuals and one legal entity, determining insufficient evidence of inside information use or disclosure. This decision underscores the Committee's rigorous evidentiary standards in market abuse cases, offering reassurance to compliance teams that weak indicia alone do not trigger sanctions, while reinforcing the need for robust defenses in investigations. It matters because it provides interpretive guidance on proving insider dealing, potentially reducing overreach in enforcement but heightening focus on documentation and transaction rationales. #
Anti-money Laundering Asset management AMF invites financial market participants to take part in the EBA consultation on draft AML/CFT implementing standards
The AMF is urging French financial market participants to engage in the EBA's consultation launched on March 6, 2025, on draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) for AML/CFT implementing standards under AMLD6 and AMLR, focusing on harmonized risk assessment methodologies for supervisors and obliged entities. This matters because it signals a shift to uniform EU-wide AML/CFT supervision via AMLA (post-EBA handover on January 1, 2026), requiring firms to adapt to standardized risk indicators, data reporting, and enforcement, with new CDD rules applying from July 2027. Participation ensures firms influence final standards amid the transition to a single EU AML rulebook. #
