About Jana
Jana edits the anti-money-laundering and financial-crime coverage at Crypto Law Index — MLRO substance expectations, the EU Travel Rule, crypto market abuse, and the AML governance that supervisors actually test in CASP authorisation files. Before joining the publication she spent nine years on the compliance side of regulated payments and e-money firms, working on AML/CFT frameworks, suspicious-transaction reporting, and supervisory engagement. Her editorial focus is the financial-crime side of MiCA that applicants most often underestimate.
