ZURICH, Jan 21 (Reuters) - Switzerland's financial industry watchdog FINMA has launched enforcement proceedings against a senior manager at Julius Baer BAER.S and reprimanded two others over the private bank's failure to prevent money laundering, it said on Thursday.

路透苏黎世1月21日电- - -瑞士金融业监管机构瑞士金融市场监管局(FINMA)已对宝盛集团(Julius Baer Baer)一名高级管理人员提起执法诉讼。该机构周四表示，它还就这家私人银行未能阻止洗钱行为谴责了另外两名员工。

The regulator said it has dropped its inquiries into another executive after a fourth manageragreed to resign following the inquiry into to alleged corruption in Venezuela.

该监管机构表示，已放弃对另一名高管的调查。此前，在对委内瑞拉涉嫌腐败的调查中，第四名经理同意辞职。

Julius Baer was not immediately available for comment.

记者未能立即联系到宝盛置评。

A reprimand falls short of FINMA's most severe sanction of banning an executive from working in the financial industry for up to five years.

这一谴责还不及FINMA最严厉的制裁，即禁止高管在金融业工作5年。

FINMA said that although mistakes were made in the case of the two reprimanded bankers, there was insufficient evidence they had directly breached banking supervisory law.

FINMA表示，尽管这两名受到谴责的银行家犯了错误，但没有充分证据表明他们直接违反了银行监管法律。

FINMA, which did not name any of executives involved, did not say when it would make a decision on the punishment of the executive it has launched enforcement proceedings against.

FINMA没有透露任何涉案高管的姓名，也没有表示何时将对已启动执法程序的高管作出处罚决定。

The regulator strongly criticized Julius Baer last year, saying it had uncovered widespread failings at the bank which it said had fallen "significantly short" in combating money laundering between 2009 and early 2018.

该监管机构去年强烈批评宝盛，称其发现该银行存在普遍缺陷，并表示在2009年至2018年初期间，在打击洗钱方面“严重不足”。

The shortcomings were linked to alleged cases of corruption linked to Petróleos de Venezuela S.A., an oil company in Venezuela, and FIFA, the world soccer federation.

这些缺陷与委内瑞拉石油公司(Petroleos de Venezuela s.a.)和世界足球联合会(FIFA)涉嫌的腐败案件有关。

The bank was ordered to improve its anti-money laundering procedures and change how it recruited and managed client advisors in the wake of the affair.

事件发生后，该行被要求改善反洗钱程序，并改变招募和管理客户顾问的方式。
