About the Lawsuit
Westpac and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.
On November 19, 2019, post- market, Australia's anti money- laundering and terrorism financing regulator, AUSTRAC, filed a civil action against the Company in Australian Court alleging over 23 million breaches of Australian anti-money laundering laws, including failing to report over 19.5 million international fund transfers, failing to perform enhanced due diligence on correspondent banks in high-risk jurisdictions, and potentially providing services used in the exploitation of children in South East Asia and the Philippines. Further, the regulator is pursuing fines of up to A$21 million ($14 million) for every transaction Westpac failed to monitor adequately or report on time in the country's biggest ever money laundering scandal.
On this news, the price of Westpac's shares plummeted.
The case is Byrne v. Westpac Banking Corporation, et al., 20-cv-00171.
