Abstract

This book critically examines the United Kingdom’s compliance with international standards on anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CTF), challenging the findings of the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) 2018 Mutual Evaluation Report (MER), which rated the UK’s regime as exemplary. While the FATF highlighted strong inter-agency cooperation and legal compliance, this book presents novel case studies on money laundering, terrorism financing and fraud to expose significant deficiencies in the UK’s financial intelligence framework—particularly in the domestic exchange of information between Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs). It argues that national coordination remains flawed and underexplored in existing literature, which tends to focus on international or inter-EU information exchange. By conducting an in-depth legal analysis and evaluating current mechanisms through practical examples, the book reveals previously overlooked shortcomings and calls for urgent reform in the UK’s legal powers and gateways for financial information exchange.
