WASHINGTON AP – Citigroup Inc. has agreed to pay a $600,000 fine and be censured to settle regulators’ charges that it failed to supervise complex stock-trading strategies aimed at reducing the bank’s potential tax bill.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the brokerage industry’s self-policing organization, on Monday announced the civil fine against the bank’s division Citigroup Global Markets Inc. New York-based Citigroup did not admit or deny FINRA’s allegations.
