BANK of China yesterday rejected accusations by Israeli families who are reportedly suing the bank for providing banking services for terrorist groups.
US-based Dow Jones Newswire said on Tuesday that families of eight high school students shot dead in Israel in 2008 filed a US$1 billion lawsuit against the bank, alleging it "intentionally and recklessly" provided banking services to terrorist groups in its New York branch.
BOC has seen media reports about the lawsuit and said the accusations were "entirely groundless," a BOC official said on condition of anonymity.
"The BOC strictly bans any kind of financial services for any terrorist groups in line with UN regulations against money-laundering and terrorist financing ..." the official said.
