US lifts sanctions against Macao bank accused of North Korea money laundering

 

https://www.nknews.org/2020/08/us-lifts-sanctions-against-macao-bank-accused-of-north-korea-money-laundering/

 

The U.S. officially lifted sanctions against a Macao-based international bank, Banco Delta Asia (BDA), 15 years after designating it as “a primary money laundering concern” working with North Korea, according to an Aug. 11 Federal Register publication. The move comes after more than a decade of appeals and legal actions by the bank, along with the recent settlement of a 2013 suit.

 

The bank was originally designated in 2005 by the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, followed by an actual enacting of sanctions from the U.S. Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) in 2007. The sanctions banned all U.S. banks from dealing with Banco Delta Asia and froze it out of the international banking system.

 

At the time of its designation, the U.S. alleged that BDA provided financial services to the DPRK for over 20 years, stating that it “specifically facilitated the criminal activities of North Korean government agencies and front companies.”

 

These included allegations that “senior officials in Banco Delta Asia are working with DPRK officials to accept large deposits of cash, including counterfeit U.S. currency, and agreeing to place that currency into circulation.” BDA was also accused of facilitating finances for a DPRK front company suspected of distributing counterfeit currency, fake tobacco products and drug trafficking.
