U.S. prosecutors reopen probes against several big banks: NYT

Among the banks named in the report were Standard Chartered Plc (STAN.L) and Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ [MTFGTU.UL]. In its Dealbook column, the newspaper said prosecutors in Washington and New York reopened an investigation into Standard Chartered that in 2012 settled allegations it funneled billions of dollars for Iran and other nations blacklisted by the United States. "The prosecutors are questioning whether Standard Chartered, which has a large operation in New York, failed to disclose the extent of its wrongdoing to the government, imperiling the bank’s earlier settlement," the newspaper said.
