The UK financial regulator said on Tuesday that it has fined Royal Bank of Scotland Group £5.6m (€6.7m) for not keeping adequate controls to prevent breaches of UK sanctions under money-laundering regulations.
The Financial Services Authority said between December 2007 and December 2008, RBS units RBS, NatWest, Ulster Bank and Coutts & Co failed to adequately screen their customers and the payments they made and received against a UK sanction list.
