JAKARTA - On Wednesday, November 29, Bitcoin Group from Germany announced corrective measures regarding its internal control and supervision system, after financial regulator BaFin ordered its subsidiary, Futurum bank, to correct deficiencies related to monitoring money laundering and terrorism financing.

"Bitcoin Group firmly states that there are currently no indications of violations of money laundering and terrorism financing laws within the Group," the company said in a statement quoted by VOI from Reuters.

The company said it had taken steps in the current financial year to meet regulatory requirements and aimed to "rapidly correct identified deficiencies."

On Tuesday, November 27, BaFin identified "severe deficits" in the bank's futurum regarding internal security measures, compliance with appropriate diligence obligations, and suspicious activity reporting systems.

"We are actively working with BaFin to immediately address criticized weaknesses in our internal processes, which have not kept pace with the company's growth in recent years," Bitcoin Group Chief Executive Marco Bodewein said in the statement.
