Article 82 Mesures de lutte contre la fraude

Summary What does Article 82 of the Anti-money laundering authority regulation (AMLAR) say?

This article brings the Authority firmly within the standard EU anti-fraud framework that applies across Union institutions and bodies.

It does so by incorporating existing instruments — notably the OLAF regulation and the relevant provision of the financial framework regulation — rather than creating new standalone rules.

It also requires the Authority to formally accede to the interinstitutional arrangement governing OLAF's internal investigations and to put in place appropriate provisions for its staff accordingly.

Important points:

The Authority is subject to Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 883/2013 and Article 86 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/715 without any restriction for the purposes of combating fraud, corruption and any other illegal activity.
The Authority is required to accede to the 1999 Interinstitutional Agreement on OLAF internal investigations and adopt appropriate provisions for all its staff.
Funding decisions, agreements and implementing instruments must expressly provide that the Court of Auditors and OLAF may carry out on-the-spot checks on beneficiaries of monies disbursed by the Authority.
