21 Aug 2026 Bank oder Finanzinstitut (anonymisiert)Liechtenstein: CHF 50,000 fine for due diligence and sanctions screening failures LiechtensteinCustomer due diligence €53,459

The Finanzmarktaufsicht (FMA, Liechtenstein Financial Market Authority) fined an unnamed legal person CHF 50,000 for breaches of the Sorgfaltspflichtgesetz (Due Diligence Act) – business profiles not established or updated as required, group-wide application of the due diligence standard not ensured – and of the Gesetz über die Durchsetzung internationaler Sanktionen (ISG, Act on the Enforcement of International Sanctions). The ISG provision relied on makes it an offence punishable by a fine not to carry out the sanctions screening of customer and transaction documents, or to carry it out improperly or late.

What organisations can take from it

Sanctions screening of customers and transactions must be complete and timely, and in groups the due diligence standard must also be applied at branches and subsidiaries.
