BNP Paribas offers guilty plea to US for violating sanctions
BNP Paribas last night pleaded guilty in a New York court to charges that it conspired to violate US international sanctions against Sudan, Cuba and Iran.
The admission was part of a deal by the French bank, including a whopping $8.97bn (£5.23bn) charge for breaking sanctions against several countries for an eight- year period.
US district judge Lorna Schofield accepted the bank’s plea last night.
