BOS warns AML fine plans risk ‘double punishment’ for operators

Swedish online gambling trade body Branschföreningen för Onlinespel (BOS) has called for a rethink of how anti-money laundering (AML) fines are calculated, as a government consultation on implementing new EU AML rules closes today (30 October). The Ministry of Finance published a memorandum in July setting out how Sweden should adapt its laws to the EU’s AML package. The EU’s new Anti-Money Laundering Regulation applies directly in all member states from 10 July 2027. The ministry invited BOS and other affected bodies to give their views. BOS broadly welcomed the measures.
