Private banks have a responsibility to conduct customer due diligence and comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) regulations. This involves verifying the identity of the clients and the source of their funds.
However, in some cases, private banks may bank money for shell or offshore companies without adequately verifying the true beneficial owners of the funds or the source of the funds. This can occur when private banks are not fully committed to complying with AML and KYC regulations, or when they are willing to look the other way in exchange for high fees and profits.
This type of behavior is illegal and can result in significant legal and financial consequences for both the bank and its clients. In recent years, there has been an increased focus on cracking down on this type of activity, and many private banks have faced large fines and other penalties for failing to adequately comply with AML and KYC regulations.
