Senior HSBC bankers need to face jail for their bank’s role in laundering drugs money; fining the bank won’t work

HSBC, announced that it will pay $1.9 billion…to settle allegations that it laundered money for drugs cartels, terrorists and pariah states. During approximately the same period that HSBC failed to check whether the dollars it was shipping from Mexico to the US were drugs money, 47,000 people died at the hands of Mexican drugs traffickers .“Fines alone are not going to change banks’ behaviour: the chances of being caught are relatively small and the potential profits from accepting dodgy clients are too big…” said Rosie Sharpe, campaigner at Global Witness. “Instead, regulators should hold senior bankers legally responsible for their banks’ money laundering performance. At the very least, senior bankers should be prevented from working in the industry…Bonuses should be clawed back, and, in the most serious cases, senior bankers should face jail,” said Sharpe.
