9 Jan 2025 Arian Financial LLPFCA: small broker Arian Financial fined over cum-ex money laundering risks €344,791
From January to September 2015, the broker had no effective systems against financial crime and was therefore exposed to the risk of facilitating fraudulent trading and money laundering in connection with cum-ex trades. Following proceedings before the Upper Tribunal, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) set the fine at £288,962.53 instead of the £744,745 originally intended.
Even small brokers must question unusually lucrative, circular trading patterns before executing them.

29 Sep 2023 ADM Investor Services International LimitedFCA: £6.47 million against ADM Investor Services over outdated AML controls €7.48m
The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) imposed £6,470,600 (after a 30% discount) because, between September 2014 and October 2016, the derivatives broker had only a rudimentary customer risk assessment, no firm-wide money laundering risk assessment and no adequate ongoing monitoring; its policies referred to outdated legislation. The FCA had already raised concerns in 2014.
Policies that refer to repealed legislation are a sure sign of a dead AML programme.
