In July 2024 alone, 1,068 suspicious transaction reports were not filed – including on transactions linked to child sexual abuse material, fraud, ransomware and sanctions evasion – as well as 1,518 reports of large virtual currency transactions; in addition, there were violations of a ministerial directive and a lack of policies and risk assessment.
