(Bloomberg) Ex-Julius Baer Group Ltd. Chief Executive Officer Boris Collardi was reprimanded by Switzerland’s financial regulator over a money laundering probe that’s cast a shadow over his move to Geneva private bank Pictet & Cie.
Collardi won’t face further penalties in the case, related to alleged corruption in Venezuela, according to a statement he sent on Thursday. Separately, Swiss watchdog Finma said it’s starting enforcement proceedings against one unidentified Baer manager. The actions come almost a year after the regulator said the bank fell significantly short in combating money laundering in its Latin American business between 2009 and early 2018.
