Washington fines Bank of America over 1 billion
The U.S. Department of the Treasury has imposed fines exceeding $1.2 billion on Bank of America for violations of anti-money laundering and sanctions laws. This reflects the bank's failure to properly report suspicious transactions totaling over $5 billion, including transactions linked to Chinese money laundering networks and illicit financing activities along the southwestern border of the United States. Additionally, a settlement of $11.6 million has been announced with the bank regarding potential violations of sanctions programs related to Iran, Russia, drugs, and global terrorism. This is part of the U.S. authorities' efforts to ensure that financial institutions comply with laws and to reduce security threats and illicit financing risks.
