Corporate Crime weekly highlights—16 October 2025
This week's edition of Corporate Crime weekly highlights includes analysis of the impact of the failure to prevent fraud offence on greenwashing claims and how companies now face the risk of criminal prosecution if they fail to prevent misleading claims, of how attritional disputes over disclosure shaped the SFO’s approach at a time when it was under intense scrutiny over its handling of evidence, and of the potential implications of the draft money laundering regulations for the UK financial sector and for financial services firms operating under the current regime. Also included is news of the consolidation of UK sanctions designations into a single list from January 2026, of a public consultation to shape new regulations on the sale and composition of tobacco, vape and nicotine products as part of the Tobacco and Vapes Bill, of proposed amendments to the EA’s enforcement and sanctions policy following a public consultation, and of enforcement action by the HSE, EA, NRW and the Insolvency Service. All this, and more, in this week’s Corporate Crime highlights.
