HMRC imposed a penalty of £158,679 under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 on the gallery, which is supervised for anti-money laundering purposes as an art market participant. The failings concerned risk assessment, policies and controls, staff training, due diligence, the timing of verification and record keeping; no appeal was lodged.

Art dealers too must identify buyers in good time and document every check.

Relevance to training and awareness

Anti-money laundering duties in the art trade, especially timely identity verification
