Bank of America fined more than $1.2 billion over money-laundering failures
US authorities fined Bank of America more than $1.2 billion for failing to police suspicious activity, Reuters, the Financial Times and Bloomberg reported. FinancialJuice relayed that the case involved anti-money-laundering and sanctions violations connected to Russia, Iran and other countries, and that the US Treasury’s sanctions office settled with the bank for $11.66 million.
