25 Mar 2024 Banque Audi (Suisse) SAFINMA confiscates 3.9 million CHF in profits from Banque Audi (Suisse) €4.01m
The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) found serious infringements of anti-money laundering rules in PEP relationships: insufficient clarification of the origin of assets, failure to report to the reporting office despite unexplained transaction purposes and a serious breach of the duty to provide information, because a critical internal audit report was not handed over. It confiscated 3.9 million CHF in profits, imposed a capital surcharge of 19 million CHF and a two-year ban on new PEP and high-risk relationships (date of the announcement used as decision date).
Withholding critical audit reports from the supervisory authority considerably aggravates a money laundering case.
