Giusepp Schlitzer enters as AIF’s Director, replacing

Financial Information Authority
Pope Benedict XVI established AIF in 2010. It oversees the financial
intelligence unit and seeks to prevent and counter money laundering and the
financing of terrorism. Pope Francis further consolidated this Vatican entity
in 2013. It is a member of the Egmont Group, a network of finance intelligence
units at the global level.
