MLR1PP12250 - Penalties Guidance: Repeated non-compliance with the Regulations

A referral to MLRIU for consideration should also be considered for repeated non-compliance with the Regulations where compliance has not improved despite increasingly severe penalties or non-compliance has continued. A criminal investigation should also be considered when a business is suspected or has been shown to be trading unsupervised (e.g. without being included in the register) and has failed to register to avoid the implementation of anti-money laundering controls.
