(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations prescribe the Money Laundering Regulations 1993 (S.I. 1993/1933), ("the 1993 Regulations"), as amended, for the purposes of section 168(4)(b) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 ("the Act"). The effect of this is that the Financial Services Authority may, under section 168(5) of the Act, appoint a competent person to conduct an investigation on its behalf where it appears to it that a person may be guilty of an offence under the 1993 Regulations. The 1993 Regulations are also prescribed for the purposes of section 402(1)(b) of the Act. This will enable the Financial Services Authority (except in Scotland) to institute proceedings for any offence under the 1993 Regulations.
