HMRC imposed a penalty of £175,701 under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 on the company, which is supervised for anti-money laundering purposes as a high value dealer. The failings concerned risk assessment, policies, controls and procedures, staff training, due diligence and record keeping; no appeal was lodged.
