Justice Manual § 9-79.200
Bank Records and Foreign Transactions Act
The Money Laundering, Narcotics and Forfeiture Section of the Criminal Division has supervisory authority over the Bank Records and Foreign Transactions Act. Assistant United States Attorneys should keep the Department of Justice advised respecting the developments in important Bank Secrecy Act cases as they arise.
Possible civil penalties in a Bank Secrecy Act prosecution should not be compromised without contacting the Assistant Director, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, United States Department of the Treasury, 15th and Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20220 (202) 622-0400. That office should also be contacted in criminal cases which seem appropriate for civil remedies.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
