British Bank Standard Chartered's (STAN) Stock Falls 9% on Reports of U.S. Probe
Shares of British bank Standard Chartered (STAN) are down 9% after a U.S. Republican lawmaker wrote to Attorney General Pam Bondi asking for action to be taken against the bank for alleged 'sanctions evasion.' Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Elise Stefanik, a New York Republican, wrote in a letter posted to social media that a special attorney should be appointed to look into Standard Chartered's alleged failings. The London-based bank has been investigated over sanctions in the past. Standard Chartered was fined $1.1 billion in 2019 by U.S. and U.K. authorities for evading sanctions and lacking proper money-laundering controls. The lender is currently facing a $1.9 billion lawsuit in the United Kingdom by investors over Iran sanctions violations. Bank's Response Standard Chartered was quick to respond to the allegations made by Representative Stefanik. In a statement, the bank said that 'the underlying allegations — including the claim that there are $9.6 billion in unlawful transactions — are entirely false and have been rejected by the U.S. courts multiple times.' Standard Chartered added that it will 'fully cooperate' with any relevant authority. Stefanik also alleged that the New York Attorney General's Office, which helps oversee most foreign banks operating in the U.S., did not take action on allegations against Standard Chartered in the past. Stefanik is requesting that the acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey be in charge of a new probe into the British bank. Is STAN Stock a Buy? The stock of Standard Chartered has a consensus Moderate Buy rating among nine Wall Street analysts. That rating is based on three Buy and six Hold recommendations issued in the last three months. The average STAN price target of 1,356.22p implies 3.89% upside from current levels.

Met Police urged to scrap facial recognition at Notting Hill Carnival over 'racial bias' fears
Civil liberties and anti-racism groups have called on Met Police to abandon plans to deploy Live Facial Recognition (LFR) at this year's Notting Hill Carnival, warning of 'racial bias.' In a letter to Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley, 11 organisations, including Liberty, Big Brother Watch, and the Runnymede Trust, described LFR as 'mass surveillance' that 'treats all Carnival-goers as potential suspects.' It comes after Met Police announced plans to use facial recognition technology on the approaches to and from the event this year, though cameras will not be placed within the carnival boundaries themselves. Officers will use the cameras to identify individuals wanted by police, missing persons who might be at risk of exploitation and those subject to sexual harm prevention orders. The technology captures live footage and compares faces against a database of known offenders. But the groups have expressed their disappointment at the decision to reintroduce the technology at Carnival, warning that it may be 'less accurate for women and people of colour.' The letter states: "There is no clear legal basis for your force's use of LFR. No law mentions facial recognition technology and Parliament has never considered or scrutinised its use,' according to the BBC. "Notting Hill Carnival is an event that specifically celebrates the British African Caribbean community, yet the [Metropolitan Police] is choosing to use a technology with a well-documented history of inaccurate outcomes and racial bias." The letter also highlighted concerns over a 2023 National Physical Laboratory study, which found that the Met's NeoFace system showed reduced accuracy for women and people of colour, depending on the algorithm used. The Met says LFR is accurate and balanced across ethnicity and gender and has insisted it will help keep people safe. The force emphasised strict safeguards were in place and anyone passing a camera who is not on the watchlist will have their biometrics immediately and permanently deleted. Police will deploy around 7,000 officers each day during the August Bank Holiday weekend event, focusing heavily on public safety, particularly preventing knife crime and violence against women and girls. So far in 2025, LFR has been deployed 111 times across London, leading to 512 arrests. During Carnival weekend, alerts from LFR systems will prompt officers to investigate further, although an alert does not automatically mean an arrest. Met Police has been contacted by The Standard for comment.
