SUMMARY:From Fraud to Accountability: Tackling Financial Crime Across Europe
DESCRIPTION:Date: 9 December 2025 | Time: 15:00 – 17:30 | Location: State of Hessen Rep to the EU (Rue Montoyer 21\, Brussels) \n\nEurope’s capital markets participation is challenged by the flood of scams\, misconduct\, and systemic risks that retail investors and savers face online. In turn\, trust in Europe’s capital markets continues to erode. And\, with new digital innovations sparked by AI\, financial crimes have accelerated\, with fraudsters becoming increasingly sophisticated. To tackle such crimes\, regulatory and enforcement responses must keep pace. \nTo examine the problem and understand how Europe can strengthen its defences against financial crime\, BETTER FINANCE is hosting a high-level conference bringing together policymakers\, regulators\, industry leaders\, and consumer advocates. The programme features the launch of a BETTER FINANCE Paper on Scam\, expert insights from leading organisations\, and a panel debate on how shared responsibility can ensure accountability and better protection for investors across the EU. \nProgramme\n15:00 – 15:05 | Welcome\nDr Thomas Eckert\, Director\, State Representation of Hesse to the EU \n\n15:05 – 15:10 | Opening Remarks\nAleksandra Mączyńska\, Managing Director\, BETTER FINANCE \n\n15:10 – 15:30 | Presentation by World Gold Council\nDominic Raab\, World Gold Council \n\n15:30 – 15:50 | Setting the scene | BETTER FINANCE Presentation on Scams\nMartin Molko\, Research and Policy Officer\, BETTER FINANCE \n\n15:50 – 17:10 | Panel Discussion | Shared Responsibility – How Can Europe Outpace Financial Fraud & Protect Retail Investors?\nModerator | Martin Molko\, Research and Policy Officer\, BETTER FINANCE \nAndy Agathangelou\, Founder\, Transparency Task Force \nSalvatore Gnoni\, Head of Unit – Investor Protection and Intermediaries\, ESMA \nZoltán Kormányos\, Legal Counsel\, BrokerChooser \nOleksandra Maksymenko\, EU Government Affairs Manager\, Revolut \nKris Nathanail\, Director of Standards Development (Policy)\, International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) \nRaluca Pruna\, Head of Unit\, Financial Crime\, DG FISMA\, European Commission \n\n17:10 – 17:30 | Q&A\n\n17:30 | Networking Reception\n\nInterested on-site participants are encouraged to apply for an invitation by completing the form below.
