Bank Morgan Stanley muss Millionenstrafe in der Schweiz zahlen
Original
The OAG found that the bank had not taken all necessary and reasonable organisational precautions to prevent the client adviser from engaging in qualified money laundering.
This was done with assets that originally came from acts of bribery in Greece, it continued. With the fine imposed, the OAG has closed the case.
The bank has waived its right to appeal against the decision, which is why it is legally binding.
