Banking giant Citigroup Monday said it had received subpoenas from a pair of U.S. agencies over its compliance with US bank secrecy and anti-money laundering laws.
Citi and its Banamex USA unit received a grand jury subpoena from the U.S. Attorneys Office for the District of Massachusetts, Citi said Monday in a securities filing.
Banamex USA also received a subpoena from the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) that was related to bank secrecy and anti-money laundering compliance, the Citi filing said.
Banamex USA is the US banking arm of Banco Nacional de Mexico, a leading Mexican bank Citi acquired in 2001.
