UK Treasury asks banks for case studies on blocking dirty money. Watchdog review may hinge on proving London's anti-money-laundering efforts.
背景
The UK Treasury has asked City firms to provide real-life examples of how they have blocked dirty money, in an effort to convince a global watchdog that London has cleaned up its act. This comes amid heightened scrutiny of money laundering in the UK, including concerns about the Post Office network being used for laundering and a recent US action against a Swiss bank that serves as a warning to smaller banks.
