HMRC concluded that the MSB (Money Service Business) had committed serious regulatory breaches in 2017 and 2019. It was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk\/news\/luton-money-transfer-business-fined-4863903\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fined<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a323.8<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> million ($32.4 million), a significant dent in anyone\u2019s budget and profits (the fine is subject to an ongoing appeal).<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As the\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Financial Times<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">wrote in <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/4da87d87-a44d-424a-902b-91ba75a4e09e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">response<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> to the news<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe penalty is by far the largest fine by HMRC, which together with the Financial Conduct Authority and National Crime Agency, is battling to stem a tide of dirty money flowing through the UK. A national risk assessment of money laundering and terrorist financing published by the government last month <a href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/945411\/NRA_2020_v1.2_FOR_PUBLICATION.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">estimated<\/a>\u00a0that \u2018hundreds of billions of pounds\u2019 were laundered in the UK every year.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">HMRC has often been on the receiving end of criticism: unsurprising given its role as the nation\u2019s tax collector. However, having read its\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/hmrc-issues-record-238m-fine-for-money-laundering-breaches\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">press release<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0on the recent matter, I can only applaud its rigorous pursuit of those who do not take their regulatory responsibility seriously.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Besides collecting taxes, HMRC has an oversight role, enforcing some of the regulatory laws and rules under which British organizations and businesses must operate. And it is a challenging environment in which it does so.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Indeed, for overseers such as HMRC to have any impact, the fines it levies need to be castigatory \u2013 otherwise, they will have little impact on those who can roll with the punches and easily absorb costs. Those at the top of the organizational tree need to fear the possibility of an HMRC intervention if they transgress AML boundaries. If fines are all-too-easily easily absorbed and make little impact upon the company\u2019s profitability, they will fail to act as a deterrent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">HMRC\u2019s Deputy Director of Economic Crime, Nick Sharp, said:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cBusinesses who fail to comply with the money laundering regulations leave themselves, and the UK economy, open to attacks by criminals. Money laundering is not a victimless crime. Criminals use laundered cash to fund serious organized crime, from drug importation to child sexual exploitation, human trafficking, and even terrorism.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As a professional in the AML field, I was particularly pleased that Mr. Sharp managed to make the point that, like fraud, money laundering is not a victimless crime. Sadly, this perspective persists, not only in the UK but across the globe. Even in this instance, these developments are unlikely to garner the big news outlets\u2019 interest or reach a wide audience. But they need to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We need to address a lack of public (and media) interest in this area. If this had been a fine of any description levied on one of the big soccer teams, it would dominate the sports pages and likely get a mention among the lead stories on the front page. Sadly, wherever this story was to break, on whatever continent, in whatever country, the lack of public interest would be tangible. So, as good as HMRC has done, more must be done to underline these kinds of actions in the public eye.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Sadly, the detection and restraint of fraud, money laundering, and regulatory breaches fly under most people\u2019s radars. What we have here is some solid work by a government regulator that deserves wide credit and recognition. It is a sad indictment that this is not usually the case, but it is one that those who ply our trade in this regulatory sector are used to. Pats on the back are few and far between, but in this instance, I\u2019ll step forward and congratulate HMRC on a job well done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">____<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">With thanks to Tony McClements, Senior Investigator at Martin Kenney &amp; Co, for his assistance with this post.
