Regulation and legal action

  1. AUSTRAC infringement notice: A$75,120 for late suspicious matter reports

    Cointree told AUSTRAC it had missed deadlines for reporting suspicious matters. AUSTRAC issued an infringement notice over four reports not made within three business days of forming a suspicion.

    Outcome: Paid in full, which concludes the matter; AUSTRAC notes payment isn't an admission. Cointree said it was updating its systems.
