The Bank of Italy is set to close Latvian lender AS PrivatBank’s Italian arm for violation of anti-money-laundering regulations.
The central bank said that the move was initiated after inspections carried out on the bank between 16 March and 6 April 2016 revealed “serious breaches of anti-money-laundering regulations with the risk that the irregularities could be repeated.”
