The anti-money laundering regime has been an important part of financial services regulation for many years. The regime has also changed over time, most recently with the implementation of the 5th Money Laundering Directive (5MLD) earlier this year. This legislation made various changes to the AML regime and extended the scope to include businesses that carry on crypto related activities.
In this Financial Services webinar we will provide a summary of:
- a firm’s obligations in relation to anti-money laundering
- the new requirements that apply under the UK’s implementation of 5MLD
- the application of 5MLD to crypto related businesses
- legal status of crypto assets
- update on law enforcement use of the new suspicion-based powers to freeze and recover unlawful property
