The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FINSEN), a government body that monitors the US financial system, has disbursed Rs 34.84 billion in 11 years through nine banks and 10 companies. This was revealed by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).

Finsen Files is a disclosure of transactions from 1999 to 2017. During this period, banks monitored their customers' suspicious financial activities and informed Finsen.

Standard Chartered, Prime Commercial, Bank of Kathmandu, Nepal Investment Bank, Everest Bank, Mega Bank, Himalayan Bank, Apex Development Bank of Kaski and Nepal Bangladesh Bank are mentioned in the list of 'Finsen Files'.

Similarly, according to Finsen Files, Rauniyar Brothers & Company, Shubh Samridhi Traders Pvt. Ltd., Sasta Trading Company, Setidevi Export Import Pvt., LD International Pvt., Felt & Yarn Pvt. Investment, Acme Money Transfer Company and Sunny Enterprises.

It is seen that some of these companies have even brought and taken money without registering with the Registrar of Companies. Apart from this, about a dozen Nepali companies are indirectly involved. However, when asked about their involvement, Nepal's banks and companies have denied any involvement in the alleged activities.

As mentioned in Finsen Files', Standard Chartered Bank of Nepal has been seen in the most suspicious transactions and smuggling of money. Standard Chartered Bank of Nepal has used Standard's branches abroad for such transactions. In some transactions, such work seems to have been done through other banks as well.
