A worker faces charges in a case involving money laundering.

In October, the bank reached a settlement with authorities regarding shortcomings in its anti-money-laundering procedures.

A lawyer for Aquino  did not immediately respond to a request for  comment.
Attorney General Merrick Garland  said in October  that new charges  would be filed against  people suspected of involvement in  the money laundering at TD.
TD Bank  reached a plea agreement with prosecutors in October  for failings in its  anti-money laundering procedures. In  the plea documents, prosecutors said at least five TD  Bank employees participated in a  money laundering scheme  in Colombia. The  Colombian scheme was one  of several money laundering  rings identified by  prosecutors. "We identified the activity, reported  it and cooperated closely with authorities in their investigation," a TD spokeswoman said Wednesday, referring to the charges against Ayala. "We continue to actively support their  efforts." »

Another TD employee in Scotch Plains,  New Jersey, has also  been charged with  taking bribes to launder money  in Colombia.
The Justice Department has  been criticized by senators for not bringing more charges against  TD executives and employees who may have  known about or been involved in the  schemes.
Sen. Ron Wyden (D., Ore.) and Sen.  Rep. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) sent a letter to TD Chief Executive Bharat  Masrani on Monday asking for more information about  employee conduct related to the  money laundering failures.
At a  news conference in October, Attorney General Merrick Garland indicated  that new charges  would be filed against  people suspected of involvement in  the money laundering at TD.
"We expect to see more prosecutions," Garland said at the time.
