A Singapore financial regulator will reportedly conduct an on-site inspection of a local Credit Suisse unit in connection with a 2.8 billion Singapore dollar (U.S. $2 billion) money laundering scandal.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore will carry out the inspection to determine if the bank properly monitored its wealthy clients, one of whom was charged with money laundering, according to a report from Bloomberg News. Other financial institutions linked to the August arrests of 10 foreigners in Singapore accused of laundering billions in illicit proceeds will also be subject to inspections, Bloomberg reported.
