FIND OUT MOREPartners Abdulali Jiwaji and Duncan Grieve comment in City AM in relation to several recent regulatory fines issued against certain financial services firms by the FCA and Bank of England due to failings in their financial crime and AML systems. Duncan and Abdul's comments were published in City AM, 17 July 2025, here.
Commenting in City AM, Abdul said: “The facts underlying the Barclays action were spectacular”.
“The FCA picked up on several missed opportunities for reviewing and identifying the money laundering risks associated with that business, including law enforcement requests and adverse media which indicated criminal investigations into money laundering.”
Abdul also noted that the Bank decided to “proactively self-report” and “engage in a significant remediation program to enhance its AML control framework”.
Duncan commented: “Failures relating to money laundering and fraud are a current area of focus for UK regulatory and prosecutorial agencies.”
Duncan also noted that from September, a “new criminal offence will make it easier to prosecute companies for failing to prevent fraud”. He drew attention to Section 199 of Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023, which will create a new “failure to prevent fraud” offence.
