Final settlement reached with US
Department of Justice
14
May 2010
The United States
Department of Justice (DoJ) and the Consortium that acquired ABN AMRO Group in
2007 have agreed to a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) relating to the
previously disclosed criminal investigation into ABN AMRO Bank NV's US dollar
clearing activities, OFAC compliance procedures, and Bank Secrecy Act compliance
matters during the period from 1995 to the end of 2007.
ABN AMRO Bank NV
announced in April 2007, six months before it was acquired by the Consortium,
that it had reached an agreement in principle with DoJ to resolve the
investigation and made a provision of US$500 million to cover the costs of
resolving the investigation. The final amount agreed with the DoJ is covered by
this provision. The conduct described in the DPA reflects a regrettable period
and the Consortium are pleased to have resolved this matter.
The DPA deferral
period is 12 months and the signatory to the DPA is The Royal Bank of Scotland
N.V., which is the legal entity that was known as ABN AMRO Bank NV until
February this year.
