On March 26th, the General Assembly of the
ALCO has elected its new directors, for the coming two years. Subsequently, the
new Board has met and decided to renew its confidence towards the previous
chairmanship. Therefore, Marie Bourlond, Laurent Moser and Vincent Salzinger
will continue to act as co-chairmen of the association. This will ensure a continuum
in the action plan which strongly focuses on the preparatory work for the
foreseen FATF visit. Recently, several events took place organised by the ALCO
on various AML topics and ALCO was associated to some others. The Board of the association has also
nominated 5 advisors of the Board, Sophie Dupin, Emmanuelle Henniaux, Anne
Kayser, Cédric Leynon and Jean-Yves Litampha. This communication is also the occasion to
repeat the permanent invitation to Compliance Officers operating in Luxembourg
