Drug trafficking link in bank

Melbourne: Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd said it was shocked to learn that a drug trafficking ring was allegedly operating from a bank office in Melbourne, and is helping police with the investigation.

“We have zero tolerance for this type of behaviour and none of the staff linked to this investigation are with ANZ any longer,” said Stephen Ries, a spokesman for the bank.

Seven ANZ Bank employees have been allegedly linked to dealing drugs and another seven to buying from them, the Herald Sun newspaper reported, citing an unidentified person.
