EU removes UAE from 'high-risk' money-laundering list, adds Monaco

The European Union on Tuesday, June 10, announced the removal of the United Arab Emirates from its money-laundering "high-risk" list but added Monaco alongside nine other jurisdictions. The European Commission said it added Algeria, Angola, Côte d'Ivoire, Kenya, Laos, Lebanon, Namibia, Nepal and Venezuela, along with Monaco, to the list of countries subject to extra monitoring of their money laundering controls. In addition to the UAE, it removed Barbados, Gibraltar, Jamaica, Panama, the Philippines, Senegal and Uganda. The moves come after a money-laundering watchdog said in February it had removed the Philippines from its list of countries that face increased monitoring, while adding Laos and Nepal. The Financial Action Task Force (FATF), a Paris-based organization that reviews efforts by more than 200 countries and jurisdictions to prevent money laundering and terrorism financing, compiles a "grey list" of nations that are subject to increased monitoring of financial transactions. Monaco has been included on the FATF list since mid-2024, along with EU member states Bulgaria and Croatia. "The commission has now presented an update to the EU list which reiterates our strong commitment to aligning with international standards, particularly those set by the FATF," the EU's commissioner for financial services, Maria Luis Albuquerque, said. The EU list will now be scrutinized by the European Parliament and member states and will enter into force within one month if there are no objections, the commission said. In a statement, Monaco's government said it had "taken note of this expected update, which would lead to Monaco being placed on the EU's list, unless the European Parliament or the Council of the EU decides otherwise." It also stressed its commitment to take the necessary steps to be removed from the FATF's grey list "in the short term."

La Perla acquired by US billionaire Peter Kern

The new owner of Italian luxury lingerie label La Perla is US billionaire Peter Kern, the former vice-president and CEO of Expedia. The news was reported by Italian daily Il Messaggero, citing sources from Italy's Ministry of Business and Made-in-Italy (MIMIT). The news has been confirmed by other sources close to the matter. Kern lives in Italy with his wife Kirsten, and is nicknamed 'Mr Brunello di Montalcino' for his investments in the wine industry. He has acquired the rights to La Perla's brand name and the label's Bologna production site. The former was the property of UK-based company La Perla Global Management UK, which is being wound up by the court in Italy and went into administration in Britain, while the factory was owned by Bologna-based company La Perla Manufacturing, also in administration. MIMIT Minister Adolfo Urso will give the unions details of the operation, which will save 210 jobs, while a turnaround plan involving 40 new hires has been drawn up. According to Il Messaggero, it was Kirsten who encouraged her husband to buy La Perla. Kern is said to have paid approximately €25 million for the production site, the minimum price having been set at €22 million. A local accountancy firm, Studio Trombone, is advising Kern, and is drawing up a plan to relaunch La Perla, tapping its Bologna factory's lingerie expertise. Il Messaggero has reported that, although some competitors submitted higher bids for La Perla, Kern prevailed because he pledged that manufacturing and product development will remain in Bologna. Kern will assume the role of president of La Perla, while Paolo Vannucchi will be back at the helm as CEO. A few years ago, he had led the label during the final months of Silvio Scaglia's ownership, and the transition to subsequent owner Lars Windhorst.
