Dubai regulator fines E*trade $200,000


    DUBAI (Reuters) - E*Trade Financial Corp has been fined $200,000 by a regulator in the United Arab Emirates for breaching anti-money laundering controls, the local regulator said on Sunday.

    Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), which is the regulator for the Nasdaq Dubai bourse, said it fined E*Trade for failing to obtain sufficient evidence of its clients' source of wealth and for not providing adequate address details for some of its clients.

    No one at E*Trade could immediately be reached for comment.
