    The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) announced today that it has fined Banorte-Ixe Securities International, Ltd., a New York-based securities firm that services Mexican clients investing in U.S. and global securities, $475,000 for not having adequate anti-money laundering (AML) systems and procedures in place and for failing to register approximately 200 to 400 foreign finders who interacted with the firm's Mexican clients. FINRA also suspended Banorte Securities' former AML Officer and Chief Compliance Officer, Brian Anthony Simmons, for 30 days in a principal capacity, as he was responsible for the firm's AML procedures and for monitoring suspicious activities. As a result of the firm's AML compliance failures, Banorte Securities opened an account for a corporate customer owned by an individual with reported ties to a drug cartel, and did not detect, investigate or report the suspicious rapid movement of $28 million in and out of the account.
