GAMBLING: PENALTIES FOR AML AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY BREACHES REDUCED DUE TO EFFECT OF COVID-19

On 18 February, an article from CMS Law reported that, on 4 February, the UK Gambling Commission had announced that it had imposed sanctions on an operator as a consequence of its mishandling of customers from both AML and social responsibility perspectives.  However, the financial penalty imposed was reduced significantly following representations by the operator as to its financial hardship in light of COVID-19.
