Wolfsberg Group
The Wolfsberg Group is a non-governmental association of thirteen global banks. Its goal has been to develop financial industry standards for anti-money laundering (AML), know your customer (KYC) and counter terrorist financing (CTF) policies. Its work is similar to what the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF) does on a government level. In addition to its AML-activities, the Wolfsberg Group also serves as a collective action group in the field of anti-corruption. The Wolfsberg Group has criticized FATF's draft AML revision as "too prescriptive and too narrowly conceived". The group operates in relative obscurity without press coverage. History In 1999, the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations called Citigroup's chief executive officer, John Reed, to testify in a public hearing on what the chairman of the Committee, Senator Carl Levin, called a "rogues gallery" of clients at Citibank's private bank.
