Don't let your guard down! This is the recommendation made to banks and intermediaries by lawyer Fabrizio Vedana during the two-day Anti-Money Laundering Diploma Master's program for students in Bari. "The Bank of Italy—first the Eurosystem and then the Financial Intelligence Unit," Vedana said, "have issued instructions in recent days specifying that anti-money laundering regulations must be applied regularly." Particular attention, Vedana explained, must be paid to sudden changes in the structure of banks' client companies, as well as any transfers abroad made by non-profit organizations active in fundraising for the COVID-19 emergency. With specific reference to Legislative Decree 231/01 on corporate criminal liability, the Master's program provided an opportunity to highlight its relevance, especially given the stringent regulations adopted by the Italian government to protect health in the workplace. These regulations, if not observed, could expose the company to liability under the aforementioned legislation.
