Art. 41 Reporting and transmission of the results of joint analyses | Anti-money laundering authority regulation (AMLAR) | AML

This article governs how the Authority must act when joint analysis results give rise to reasonable grounds for suspicion of criminal activity.

It establishes a set of reporting obligations and information-sharing channels connecting the Authority to key EU enforcement bodies — specifically the EPPO, OLAF, Europol, and Eurojust — each triggered by different types of suspected wrongdoing.

The article builds directly on Article 40, which sets out the joint analysis process itself, and connects to Article 94, which governs the working arrangements underpinning broader inter-agency cooperation.

Important points:

The Authority is required to report joint analysis results to the EPPO without undue delay where money laundering or related criminal activity is suspected, and must develop technical standards specifying the format for such reporting in consultation with the EPPO.
Transmission of results to Europol and Eurojust requires the express consent of all FIUs that participated in the joint analysis, whereas reporting to OLAF and the EPPO does not carry this consent requirement.
The Authority, EPPO, Europol, Eurojust, and OLAF may exchange strategic and non-operational information, such as typologies and risk indicators, with the conditions for such exchange to be set out in working arrangements under Article 94.
