TD Bank pleads guilty to permitting money laundering and other crimes – Rezazade
The vice president of the Iranian opposition in Washington, Ali Reza Rezazadeh, reports that in the United States, TB Bank pleaded guilty to allowing drug traffickers and other criminals to open accounts and transfer funds. The bank will now pay more than $3 billion in fines.
TD Bank has pleaded guilty to federal money laundering charges, agreeing to pay more than $3 billion in fines for allowing drug traffickers and other criminals to open accounts and transfer money through the bank. Federal prosecutors said the bank broke the law when it failed to properly track trillions of dollars in transactions spanning more than a decade.
Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the decision and said the bank - the 10th largest in the United States - was the first in American history to plead guilty to conspiracy to launder money. TD Bank also pleaded guilty to violating the Bank Secrecy Act, which requires banks to report suspicious activity and maintain effective anti-money laundering programs. Justice Department officials said they fined the bank for each day it failed to comply with the law between 2014 and 2023.
