Answer
Through Money Laundering Regulations, the UK regulated sector is required to carry out due diligence checks to identify illicit wealth and prevent it from entering the financial system.
Where illicit funds are identified, then law enforcement agencies have, through the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, robust powers to seize and recover these.
