New PhD-Project on Recent European Measures and Their Impact on the Art Market
|
|
Sender:
Anna de Jong
|
After the destruction and looting of cultural property by IS, fears arose that the art market was used for terrorism financing. Moreover, there were pre-existing concerns of illicit sale of cultural goods and money laundering. In response, the EU adopted Regulation 2019/880 and updated its Anti-Money Laundering Scheme. However, key figures in the art market, enforcement agencies, and academia raised doubt whether these instruments fulfil their declared aims. Anna de Jong’s PhD project will seek to answer whether these doubts are fair and accurate.
