Global banking sector ‘heavies’ fingered in deals with criminal networks

The international financial sector was reportedly alive with talk earlier this week over reports that a number of prominent banking institutions have been profiting handsomely from illicit dealings from what a media report seen by the Stabroek Business describes as “disreputable people and criminal networks.”

The report, monitored from the Jamaica Gleaner earlier this week names a number of ‘big name’ banks -JPMorgan, HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Deutsche Bank, and Bank of New York Mellon – being among them, which it says have continued to be associated with illicit dealings despite previous warnings from regulators.
