Human impact year country : description 2007 United States of America : Union Bank of California's money laundering woes have been mounting. UnionBanCal disclosed in July that it's facing U.S. Treasury Department civil penalties for violating anti-money laundering regulations. Union Bank said it had reserved $10 million to deal with those regulatory concerns, which seem to largely stem from its former business activities in Russia. Union Bank of California severed its relationship with hundreds of Russian banks in 2004 and sold most of its international operations in 2005 in connection with money laundering issues raised by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. 2007 United States of America : Three Colombians at the center of the Union Bank of California saga have been extradited to the U.S. and are set to plead guilty in federal court in Miami early Tuesday, a court document shows. Ricardo Mauricio Bernal, his brother Juan Manuel Bernal and Camilo Ortiz Echeverri are expected to plead guilty to federal charges that they laundered $3 million in drug money. They are facing years in prison. Lawyers for the brothers declined to comment. The Bernal brothers had infiltrated Ribadeo Casa de Cambio, a Mexican exchange house that has been shut down by Mexican regulators. Ribadeo had a bank account with Union Bank of California, and the Bernals used that account to move drug money into the financial system, launder it and move it to Colombia, court documents allege. Ribadeo was used to transfer $300 million through U.S. banks, says a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration document. According to an affidavit filed in court by a DEA agent in the government's case against the Bernals, the brothers transferred $2.5 million to an undercover DEA bank account in 2004 and 2005 through Ribadeo's Union Bank account. U.S. Attorney R. Alexander Acosta originally charged the Bernals in March 2006 with money laundering and cocaine distribution. Financials year   assets source 2006 53   billion US$
