With a formal letter sent to the government, the president of the Veneto region, Luca Zaia, has formally nominated the Veneto region, and specifically the city of Venice, to house the headquarters of the new European Authority for the fight against money laundering and the fight against terrorist financing (AMLA - Autority for anti moneylaudering and countering the financing of terrorism ). According to the Governor, the proposal of Venice is a continuation of the prestigious location of a city that, with its historical, cultural, and social elements, appears to be the most suitable seat in relation to the value and authority of the established Authority. "A candidacy - Zaia emphasizes - that is part of a precise strategy to make the reality and image of Veneto more international, through the realization of major events, such as the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan Cortina, the great cultural events, and the location on the territory of important European and world institutional offices, such as the Anti-Money Laundering Authority." In support of the candidacy, the Venetian geographical area and its impressive array of connecting infrastructures, cultural centers, universities, and economic institutions are also described in detail.
