Germany’s financial supervisory authority issued total fines of 1.45 million euros (U.S. $1.6 million) against Commerzbank AG to settle allegations of inadequate monitoring and anti-money laundering (AML) controls, along with breaches of its supervisory duty and enhanced due diligence requirements.
BaFin announced Monday fines of €375,000 (U.S. $400,000) and nearly €1.1 million (U.S. $1.2 million) against Commerzbank. The alleged violations related, in part, to issues at Comdirect Bank AG, to which Commerzbank is the universal successor.
