Nadzór AML w Czechach i na całej UE wyraźnie się zaostrzył. Dane z FIU i europejskie zmiany regulacyjne wskazują ten sam trend: więcej inspekcji, więcej postępowań administracyjnych i znacznie wyższe grzywny. To nie jest wahanie — to zmiana strukturalna, która będzie się utrzymywać.

Twarde dane z Czech: FIU Przyspieszył
Statystyki FIU z ostatnich lat pokazują wyraźną trajektorię:
- Liczba wszczętych postępowań administracyjnych stale rośnie
- The total amount of fines varies by case, but in 2024 it reached nearly CZK 16 million (approx. EUR 640K) — a significant jump compared to previous years
- 2024 also set a record for the number of proceedings (33)
While in 2020 the annual fines were in the single-digit millions of CZK, today we are talking about significantly higher amounts and more systematic oversight.
This is not just about banks or large institutions. FIU has long been focused on real estate agencies, accountants, lawyers, dealers in high-value goods, and service providers.
A Real-World Case: Real Estate Agency
In 2025, FIU imposed a fine on the company:
Molík reality s.r.o.
Reasons for the sanction:
- Failure to meet the reporting obligation under applicable AML legislation
- Violation of obligations in client identification and due diligence under applicable AML legislation
A typical scenario from practice: the obliged entity underestimated formal steps often perceived as mere 'paperwork'. From FIU's perspective, however, these are the fundamental building blocks of an AML system.
Europe: The Pressure Is Just Getting Started
Czech data must be read in a broader context:
- 2025 brought a rise in AML fines across Europe and the closing of long-running cases
- From 2026, AMLA — the European anti-money laundering authority — will become operational
- AMLR (EU 2024/1624) takes effect — a directly applicable regulation, less room for excuses, more unified oversight
Globally, AML fines surged by 417% between 2024 and 2025. Key trends include massive sanctions from US and European regulators, a strong focus on KYC violations, and growing pressure to leverage artificial intelligence for compliance.
This means:
- Less tolerance for 'paper compliance'
- Greater emphasis on demonstrability, audit trails, and consistent decision-making
- Higher reputational and financial risk for obliged entities

What Actually Gets Penalised
From the practice of FIU and European regulators, the following violations are most common:
- Missing or purely formal client identification and due diligence
- Failure to report suspicious transactions
- Inconsistent risk assessments
- Non-existent or outdated internal AML policies (SVZ)
- Lack of traceable documentation during inspections
This is not about intentional money laundering. In most cases, it is about process failures.
Conclusion: The Trend Is Clear
AML enforcement has shifted from a 'formal obligation' to a phase of active enforcement. The number of proceedings is growing, fines are increasing, and regulatory pressure will continue to intensify.
For obliged entities, this means one thing: having AML processes truly under control, not just on paper.
That is exactly what AML PROOF is built for — so that compliance is not a scare at inspection time, but a repeatable, audit-safe process.
