These flaws allowed a corrupt group of bank traders and offshore entities to improperly and covertly transfer more than $10 billion out of Russia, by conscripting Deutsche Bank operations in Moscow, London and New York to their improper purpose.
In April 2015, Deutsche Bank entered into a Consent Order with the Department arising out of its failure to employ relevant and specific systems and controls to prevent manipulation ofthe LIB OR and IBOR rate-setting process. The conduct at issue occurred for the time period 2005 through 2009 - right after entry of DBTCA's Written Agreement with the Department - and was systemic. The LIBOR manipulation issues had been known to the Bank from at least 2008, and even after being placed on notice, the Bank failed to address the absence of relevant systems and controls. The Bank paid a penalty of $600 million to the Department, and agreed to install an independent monitor to recommend and implement important compliance reforms.
On November 3, 2015, the Bank entered into another Consent Order with the Department, arising out of the Bank's use of non-transparent methods and practices to conduct nearly $11 billion in dollar-clearing transactions on behalf of Iranian, Libyan, Syrian, Burmese, and Sudan financial institutions and other entities subject to U.S. economic sanctions.·
