Part 5 – Miscellaneous Sanctions enforcement: monetary penalties Section 214: Sanctions enforcement: monetary penalties
The section will amend the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 (SAMLA) to provide expressly that provision for enforcement made in sanctions regulations made under section 1 of SAMLA may include the imposition of civil monetary penalties (CMPs) in relation to the contravention of prohibitions or requirements imposed by sanctions regulations. The new section 17A of SAMLA clarifies and reinforces the broad enforcement powers.
	The section also strengthens the basis for CMPs to be imposed by HM Treasury under the Policing and Crime Act 2017 (PCA) for offences that are supplemental to financial sanctions and that regulations made under section 1 of SAMLA can include provision conferring power to impose CMPs. The section also provides for the PCA 2017 to be disapplied where HM Treasury has the power under both sanctions regulations and the PCA to impose CMPs in respect of prohibitions or requirements.
