Kenneth Blanco has been tapped to lead a new financial crimes unit at Citi following his departure as director of the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) later this week.
Blanco will be the financial crimes chief compliance officer for the new unit, which formally integrates the bank’s anti-money laundering (AML), sanctions, and anti-bribery teams, according to an internal memo issued to staff Friday by Citi Chief Compliance Officer Mary McNiff. Blanco will join Citi in the second quarter of this year, McNiff said.
