This is the first such case against a British bank under a 2007 money laundering law.

Britain's financial regulator has started a criminal action against NatWest over allegations it failed to detect suspicious activity by a customer depositing nearly 400 million pounds over 5 years, mostly in cash.law. If convicted, the bank faces a maximum penalty of an unlimited fine.
