In March, courts in London and Dubai imposed a worldwide freezing order on Raja’s assets up to £1.3 billion.

The order requires Raja to disclose assets worth more than £10,000 ($13,000) and limits his personal spending to no more than £5,000 ($6,700) per week without explicit consent from MFS administrators.

The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) subsequently launched an enforcement investigation into MFS.

The press release also warned operators against complying with any payment requests from departments that aren’t legally authorised to do so.

It called for any such acts to be reported immediately to the Ministry of Finance and the Directorate General of Administrative, Judicial, State Property and Equity Revenues (DGRAD).

The DGRAD has been tasked with identifying and securing the cancellation of any irregularly issued payment notices.

Spillemyndigheden said it contributed actively to this work and sat on FATF’s gaming sector working group. The regulator confirmed that many of the indicators in the report carry relevance for operators licensed in Denmark.

FATF’s warning on illegal and offshore gambling will resonate in Denmark. Last year, Spillemyndigheden secured a court order to block 178 unlicensed gambling sites, the largest such action in the regulator’s history. 

The case highlighted how illegal operators disguise their presence through multiple site variations, a tactic the FATF report also flags as a red flag indicator.
