The Norway Financial Supervisory Authority has published a warning about the Luxembourg-based entity Winvest International S.C.S., FIAR. The notice links to a Luxembourg CSSF warning about fraudulent activity by persons misusing the entity's name. Compliance teams should screen for the name and treat any dealings with it or its impersonators as high risk.
FINTRAC imposed an administrative monetary penalty of CAD $399,712.50 on the New Brunswick Lottery and Gaming Corporation for failing to submit suspicious transaction reports (STRs) when reasonable grounds to suspect existed.
