UK BOOKMAKER WILLIAM HILL FINED FOR MONEY LAUNDERING FAILURES

On 20th February, RTE reported that William Hill will pay £6.2 million as a penalty for breaching AML and social responsibility regulations, the UK’s Gambling Commission said.  Failure in the company’s checks resulted in 10 customers depositing large sums linked to criminal offences, resulting in gains for William Hill of around £1.2 million, it said, with a systemic failing at William Hill which went on for nearly 2 years.
