Sh Suhyup Bank weighs legal action over 1 billion won FIU fine
Sh Suhyup Bank is considering a legal challenge to a 1 billion won fine imposed by South Korea’s Financial Intelligence Unit, or FIU.
The FIU operates under the Financial Services Commission.
The bank is weighing action after the fine was imposed, though the available information does not say that it has filed a case.
In South Korea, a fine differs from a penalty, and paying it voluntarily can make it difficult to object.
That could make recovering the money difficult if the bank pays and later challenges the decision.
The move has prompted speculation about whether it is linked to the next appointment of the bank’s chief executive.
The bank’s next step is still under consideration.
Sh Suhyup Bank is considering legal action over a fine of about 1 billion won imposed by South Korea’s Financial Intelligence Unit.
The bank is weighing its response after a delay, according to Chosun Ilbo.
The article says administrative fines are harder to challenge after voluntary payment than surcharges.
It may therefore be difficult for the bank to recover money already paid.
