An anti-money laundering specialist working at a bank just received a legal request from a law enforcement
agency mandating the release of all financial transaction records relating to an account at the bank. The
specialist immediately recognizes the account as one owned by the bank Chief Executive Officer’s brother.
During research to gather the requested documents, the specialist finds several internal memos he had sent to
the bank president with concerns regarding possible suspicious activity relating to this account. The specialist
recalls the bank president verbally responded to each memo with an explanation of the activity and indicated
there was no cause for concern. What should the specialist do with respect to these internal memos?

A.
Place these memos in his personal files in case they are subsequently requested

B.
Ask the bank president to document his instructions to the specialist

C.
Call the law enforcement agent and suggest he modify the legal request to include these memos

D.
Advise the bank’s senior legal advisor of the situation
