ANKARA – The People’s Bank of China today fined Ant Group ¥7.12 billion (RM4.6 billion) for violating laws and regulations in payment, settlement, anti-money laundering, and fund sales businesses, reported Anadolu.

The penalty could end the years-long scrutiny and overhaul of the Jack Ma-funded fintech company that began with the last-minute scrapping of its US$37 billion (RM172 billion) initial public offering in November 2020.
