It was a big issue just after all the legislation first came in (maybe ten years, maybe more, I lose track) and no-one was quite sure what the rules were. One accountant certainly got done with the Institute arguing that he should have been aware given his professional knowledge (there was the suggestion that it was a convenient excuse but who knows).
Also, if you're a member of a professional body that expects you to be aware of and report potential money laundering offences (accountant, lawyer, etc) you may get booted for aiding tax evasion.
