3 Aug 2026 Shandong Weiqiao Pioneering Group Co., Ltd.UFLPA list: textile group Shandong Weiqiao Pioneering Group over Xinjiang cotton Order
The U.S. Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force (FLETF) added the cotton and textile producer to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) Entity List because it sources cotton from Xinjiang. The company's goods are therefore presumed to have been produced with forced labour on import into the US unless the importer rebuts this.
Textile retailers need proof of origin for cotton down to the fibre, for example through isotope or traceability testing.

23 Jun 2026 Needle Craft Ltd.; Casual Wear Apparel LLCCBP import stop for textiles from Jordan's Needle Craft and Casual Wear Apparel Order
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued a Withhold Release Order: clothing from Needle Craft Ltd.; Casual Wear Apparel LLC (Jordan) is being detained at all US ports of entry because there are indications of forced labour (ILO indicators including physical and sexual violence, retention of identity documents, restriction of movement and withholding of wages). These are two parallel orders against both manufacturers.
Fashion brands should supplement social audits at garment makers with confidential worker interviews, because violence and confiscation of identity documents remain invisible in paper-based checks.

On 13 November 2025, the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) filed a disciplinary complaint for unsuitable methods of operation in connection with the illegal bookmaker Mathew Bowyer and at the same time concluded a settlement of 7.8 million USD with conditions attached to the gaming licences. The conditions relate primarily to improving the AML programme and to additional training and awareness-raising for employees; the Nevada Gaming Commission (NGC) adopted the settlement as its order on 20 November 2025 (Case No. 25-03).
Casino staff must recognise high-risk players and unexplained sources of funds – revenue interests must not override AML obligations.

22 Oct 2024 Sahara Dunes Casino, LP (Lake Elsinore Hotel and Casino)FinCEN: 900,000 USD against Lake Elsinore card club over missing reports €831,716
The US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) imposed 900,000 USD on the Californian card club, which admitted wilful infringements over more than four and a half years: no effective AML programme, missing currency transaction reports (CTR) and suspicious activity reports (SAR), and record-keeping deficiencies. The infringements stemmed from decisions by management.
Even small casinos and card clubs must file currency transaction reports and suspicious activity reports without gaps – management decisions to the contrary are considered wilful.
