9-79.200 - Bank Records and Foreign Transactions Act

The Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section of the Criminal Division has supervisory authority over the Bank Records and Foreign Transactions Act. Assistant United States Attorneys should keep the Department of Justice advised respecting the developments in important Bank Secrecy Act cases as they arise.

Possible civil penalties in a Bank Secrecy Act prosecution should not be compromised without contacting the Assistant Director, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, United States Department of the Treasury, 15th and Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20220 (202) 622-0400. That office should also be contacted in criminal cases which seem appropriate for civil remedies.
