Eight banks to face money laundering charges in France

channelnewsasia.com

A French judge ordered eight banks to stand trial on "serious money laundering" charges in connection with transactions between France and Israel, court sources said.

Among the eight are the Societe Generale (SG), one of the major French banks, Barclays-France and American Express Bank France.


The judge, Isabelle Prevost Desprez, ordered charges to be brought against the banks after an investigation into fraud involving companies in the Sentier, the garment district of Paris.

In all she ordered 32 bank executives and directors to stand trial, including the head of the SG, Daniel Bouton.

About 100 other people, including community religious leaders and several rabbis, also face charges.

The other banks are the BRED, Societe Marseillaise de Credit, Leumi-France, the Lebanese bank Saradar and the National Bank of Pakistan.
