Tokyo-Mitsubishi anti-laundering controls weak-Fed

on Wednesday, December 20, 2006
WASHINGTON, Dec 18 (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve Board on Monday issued an order declaring the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Ltd and some U.S. units had inadequate anti-money laundering and Bank Secrecy Act compliance programs.

The cease-and-desist order, jointly issued with the New York State Banking Department, was accompanied by a written agreement with the bank and its New York branch to implement a new compliance infrastructure, and written procedures to adhere to the Bank Secrecy Act bolster anti-money laundering efforts, including a new transaction monitoring system.
