Several global banks moved large sums of allegedly illicit funds over a period of nearly two decades, BuzzFeed and other media report, citing confidential documents submitted by banks to the US government.

The investigation points in particular to five major banks - JPMorgan Chase, HSBC, Standard Chartered, Deutsche Bank and Bank of New York Mellon - accused of continuing to move assets of alleged criminals, even after being prosecuted or convicted for financial misconduct.

"The networks through which dirty money traverse the world have become vital arteries of the global economy," Buzzfeed News reported. In a statement, Deutsche Bank said that the ICIJ's revelations were"well known" to its regulators. The bank also said it had"devoted significant resources to strengthening our controls," as well as focused on"meeting our responsibilities and obligations."

The investigation also highlighted the American authorities' lack of power in regulating dirty financial transactions. In a statement released prior to the investigation's publication, FinCEN said that the"unauthorised disclosure of SARs is a crime that can impact the national security of the United States."
