The OAM will also have the task of collaborating with supervisory authorities, Guardia di Finanza, Currency Police, Anti-Mafia Directorate, judicial authorities and tax agencies, periodically providing all necessary information and documentation "held by virtue of the management of the special section of the register, including data on the operations carried out ".
