Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ agreed to pay $315 million and sanction some employees to resolve allegations it misled New York regulators about bank transactions that violated U.S. economic sanctions against several countries, including Iran, Sudan and Myanmar.
The state’s Department of Financial Services said Tuesday that bank employees pressured a consultant, PricewaterhouseCoopers, to remove warnings to regulators in a report the bank submitted about the extent of illicit conduct.
