2017 was a big year in money laundering, writes Nick Henderson of VinciWorks. The EU deadline for the implementation of the Fourth Money Laundering Directive came and went, with the UK passing its Money Laundering Regulations 2017 just in time, even as other EU nations rushed to catch up. However the ink hadn’t even dried on the bills as the EU reached an agreement on the Fifth Money Laundering Directive late in December 2017, with the final text due to be agreed sometime in 2018.
