Irish central bank fines AIB 2.3 mln euros for regulatory failures

Reuters - UK Focus

DUBLIN, April 26 (Reuters) - Ireland (Other OTC: IRLD - news) 's Central Bank said on Wednesday it had fined Allied Irish Banks (Berlin: 30544177.BE - news) 2.275 million euros ($2.5 million) for "significant failures" in money laundering and terrorist financing controls.

AIB was found to have failed to immediately report suspicious transactions to police and tax authorities and to carry out due diligence on some customers, the central bank said.

AIB said in a statement that all the breaches took place before July 8, 2014 and a comprehensive risk mitigation programme had since been put in place.
