The financial guard has a fine of Barclays with a fine of £ 42 million because of his “bad handling” of financial criminal risks.

The Financial Conduct Authority said that the fines were associated with separate failure that were connected to the WEALTHTEK and Stunt & Co companies.

It has a fine of Barclays Bank 39.3 million GBP for the “non -adequate management of money laundering risks” in relation to the provision of banking services for Stunt & Co, the company led by Socialite James, in relation to the provision of banking services.

Barclays only conducted a review of his exposure to Fowler Oldfield through his customers, including Stunt & Co, after she learned from the decision of the FCA to pursue Natwest because of her relationship with Fowler Oldfield. By providing ongoing banking services for Stunt & Co, Barclays enabled the movement of funds in connection with financial crime.

Barclays received a fine of 3.1 million GBP for not checking whether it had collected enough information to understand the risk of money laundering before it opened a customer money account for the now composed asset management company WELTHTEK.
