The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that a former TD Bank employee at a New Jersey branch allegedly accepted bribes and helped to shuttle millions of dollars in drug-trafficking proceeds from the United States to Colombia through accounts linked to shell companies, according to documents filed in a New Jersey court. A triple-bylined item led by Stefanie Marotta says that a criminal complaint filed by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration reveals details of potential weaknesses in TD's anti-money-laundering controls as the lender faces the prospect of significant penalties stemming from an investigation by U.S. law enforcement and regulatory authorities. Oscar Nunez-Flores worked at a TD branch in Scotch Plains, N.J. The court documents, which came to light this week in a report by trade publication Capitol Forum, do not name TD directly, but described Mr. Nunez-Flores's previous employer as an international lender and one of the largest retail banks in the United States. Capitol Forum also quoted unnamed sources saying TD knew about the U.S. anti-money-laundering probe more than six months before the company publicly disclosed the investigation that derailed its acquisition of First Horizon Bank.
