ICICI Bank suspended 18 employees pending investigation,
sources in the bank said, a day after an independent journalist accused
it and two other private banks of money-laundering practices.
The suspension is pending the bank’s investigation into money laundering charges. The probe is expected to be completed in two weeks.
Country’s three largest private banks, including the ICICI Bank, were on
Thursday accused of indulging in money-laundering both within and
outside, with an online portal Cobrapost claiming that a sting operation
conducted by it has revealed a scam.
Cobrapost had on Thursday played the contents of purported video
recording of officials of private banks allegedly agreeing to receive
unverified sums of cash and put them in their investment schemes and
benami accounts in violation of anti-money-laundering laws.
