White Collar Crimes
Money Laundering
The Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 (SAMLA) provides the main legal basis for the UK Government to operate its sanctions regime. The Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI) publishes a consolidated list of all individuals, entities, and ships subject to UK asset freezes—referred to as “designated persons.” Asset freezes extend to entities owned or controlled by a designated person. Under SAMLA, first, UK persons are prohibited from dealing with funds or economic resources belonging to, owned, held, or controlled by a designated person; and secondly, UK persons are prohibited from making funds or economic resources available (directly or indirectly) to or for the benefit of a designated person. Committing any of these acts constitutes a criminal offence under the Terrorist and Asset Freezing etc. Act 2010.
