Swiss regulator reports serious violation at Banque Audi (Suisse) SA

BERLIN (Reuters) – Banque Audi (Suisse) SA, which belongs to a large Lebanese banking group, breached its obligations in the prevention of money laundering and seriously violated financial market law, Swiss financial regulator FINMA said on Monday.

FINMA has ordered the disgorgement of profits totalling 3.9 million Swiss francs ($4.34 million) and a capital surcharge of 19 million francs, the agency said.

“In the course of the proceedings, the bank has co-operated with FINMA and took measures to restore compliance with the law,” the regulator said in a statement.
