A Middle Eastern unit of international banking group Mirabaud was ordered to pay a $3 million fine for inadequate anti-money laundering (AML) controls by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA).
The DFSA levied the penalty at a discounted rate of 30 percent, not including nearly $1 million in disgorgement the Switzerland-based banking group must pay, the regulator said in a press release Tuesday.
“The level of penalty imposed on Mirabaud reflects the importance of AML compliance in maintaining confidence in the integrity of the [Dubai International Financial Center],” said Ian Johnston, DFSA chief executive, in the release.
