If New Physics shows up at the TeV scale, its flavour structure must be severely constrained given the good agreement with the Standard Model observed in B and K physics, as well as the absence of signal in the search for lepton flavour violating processes. Within supersymmetry, this translates into highly non-generic squark and slepton soft-breaking matrices. In this talk, after a brief introduction to the supersymmetric flavour sector, we will analyze two scenarios where sizeable flavour-violating effects are generated even when adopting a flavour-blind ansatz for the soft-breaking terms, namely the enhancement of Higgs-mediated Flavour-Changing Neutral Currents for large tan(beta) and the contamination of squark mixings by the large neutrino mixing angles in a GUT context.
