這家美國第十大銀行已同意向美國司法部支付近 19 億美元的罰款,因為未能維持充分的反洗錢(AML)以及串謀洗錢計劃。這是《銀行保密法》有史以來最大規模的處罰。政府認為該銀行的倒閉使其成為「易攻擊的目標」,讓三個洗錢網路在2019年至2023年間透過帳戶轉移超過6.7億美元。
US: Fine for bank's money laundering 'conspiracy'
The US' tenth largest bank has agreed to pay the US Department of Justice nearly USD1.9 billion in penalties for failing to maintain an adequate anti-money laundering (AML) programme, as well as conspiracy to commit money laundering. It is the largest penalty ever imposed under the Bank Secrecy Act. The government felt that the bank’s failures made it an 'easy target', allowing three money laundering networks to transfer more than USD670 million through accounts between 2019 and 2023.
