米、ＢＮＰパリバに罰金９千億円　制裁対象国と違法取引

ＢＮＰパリバが罰金など計８９億ドルを支払うことで米司法省などと和解したという記事。

「ホルダー司法長官は３０日の会見で「（ＢＮＰパリバは）米当局をだますため、違法取引を巧みに偽装して痕跡を隠していた」と指摘した。

　司法当局は、ＢＮＰパリバが２００４年から１２年にかけてイランやスーダン、キューバとの取引で違法な送金業務などに関わっていたと認定。」

日本の銀行は大丈夫なのでしょうか。

A Grieving Father Pulls a Thread That Unravels BNP’s Illegal Deals（ＮＹＴ）

The trail that ultimately led to BNP began in 2006, when the Manhattan district attorney’s office came upon a lawsuit filed by the father, who blamed Iran for financing the Gaza bus bombing that killed his 20-year-old daughter. Buried in the court filings, prosecutors found a stunning accusation: a charity that owned a gleaming office tower on Fifth Avenue was actually a “front” for the Iranian government, a claim that the prosecutors later verified.

The prosecutors soon discovered that Credit Suisse and Lloyds, two of the world’s most prestigious banks, had acted as Iran’s portal to the United States financial system. To disguise the illicit transactions ― the United States is closed for business to Iran ― Credit Suisse and Lloyds stripped out the Iranian clients’ names from wire transfers to the Fifth Avenue charity and affiliated entities. The findings led the Manhattan prosecutors and the Justice Department in Washington to announce criminal cases against both banks.

As those cases were coming to light in 2009, a whistle-blower stepped forward to point the finger at BNP, France’s biggest bank. That tip has now materialized in a landmark criminal settlement, with BNP pleading guilty to criminal charges, capping a sweeping investigation into the bank’s ties to Sudan and Iran.
