The Government is committed to protecting the UK’s financial system and maintaining a robust anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing system. This involves identifying risks to the system, monitoring global developments, and working with international partners.
The Government does not comment on assessments relating to specific firms. Where appropriate, the Government will act in response to individual cases and risks identified.

The Government keeps its assessment of money laundering risks, including those linked to high‑risk jurisdictions, under regular review. The most recent UK National Risk Assessment of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing was published in 2025.
The UK operates a robust, risk‑based anti‑money laundering regime, underpinned by the Money Laundering Regulations 2017, which applies to all illicit funds regardless of country of origin. These Regulations ensure that those sectors most at risk of being abused for money laundering have appropriate risk-based controls in place. The Financial Action Taskforce has added Venezuela to the list of jurisdictions under increased monitoring which means the UK treats Venezuela‑linked activity as higher risk. UK firms are expected to factor this into the way they conduct their compliance activity in line with these obligations.
