Wide ranging reforms designed to bear down on kleptocrats, organised criminals and terrorists abusing the UK’s open economy have been introduced into Parliament today.

NEW: We've fined Halfords Ltd £30,000 for sending unsolicited marketing emails to people who hadn't consented to receive them. This is against the law.

Halfords came to the attention of the ICO following complaints in relation to a direct marketing email about a “Fix Your Bike” government voucher scheme, which was sent on 28 July 2020.

The government scheme allowed people to use a voucher worth up to £50 towards the cost of repairing a bicycle in any approved retailers or mechanics in England. However, Halfords’ marketing email encouraged people to book a free bike assessment and to redeem the voucher at their chosen Halfords store. This amounting to marketing its services which would generate income for the company.

The ICO investigation found that Halfords’ email message clearly advertised a service provided by the company, and that Halfords could not rely on legitimate interest to send the marketing email, as claimed by the company.

According to electronic marketing rules, legitimate interest cannot be used as an alternative to consent when sending electronic marketing messages. The soft opt-in exemption however, allows organisations to send electronic marketing messages to customers whose details have been obtained during the course of a sale or negotiations for similar services, but it must offer a simple way for people to opt out.

The Register of Overseas Entities launches today 🏘️ 🏢

It means that property owners must tell the UK Government who they are, ensuring foreign criminals who launder money through UK property can be flushed out.

Those who don’t comply with the new obligations could face severe criminal sanctions, from fines of up to £2,500 a day to a prison sentence of up to 5 years.

The new register will:
✅ boost transparency
✅ make it more difficult for criminals to hide behind shell companies
✅ help ensure legitimate businesses see the UK as a great place to invest
