Prosecuting individuals is their number one priority," the source said on condition of anonymity.

The concern is that the bank may have handled money belonging to the Mexican drug cartels. What is clearly known is that one of the most dangerous white collar organised crime syndicates in living memory is continuing to operate in the tax havens of Gibraltar the British Virgin Islands and Nassau Bahamas with impunity controlling the massive multi-million dollar fraudulent parallel Carroll Trust embezzled funds.
