Treasury Wields PATRIOT Act Powers
to Isolate Two Latvian Banks
Financial Institutions Identified as
?Primary Money Laundering Concerns
The U.S. Department of the Treasury today utilized USA PATRIOT Act powers to designate two Latvian financial institutions as "primary money laundering concerns." Multibanka and VEF Bank were named pursuant to Section 311 of the Act for money laundering activities and financial abuse by account holders and owners.
"The Treasury has judiciously and strategically utilized the power of Section 311 to isolate rogue actors that present money laundering concerns and risks to the U.S. financial sector," said Treasury Secretary John W. Snow. "Our use of this authority also alerts our global counterparts of specific concerns about real threats to the integrity of the international financial system."
In conjunction with this designation, Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) issued proposed rules that when made final will prohibit U.S. financial institutions from establishing, maintaining, administering or managing any correspondent account in the United States for or on behalf of these two banks.
"These two Latvian banks represent a danger to the international community because they facilitate the placement and movement of dirty money in the global financial system," said Daniel Glaser, the Treasury's Deputy Assistant Secretary for Terrorist Financing and Financial Crimes. "We will continue to work closely with the Latvian government to crack down on crimes in their financial sector."
