Following the recent money laundering scandals at HSBC and Standard Chartered, the federal regulatory agency that develops anti-laundering policies announced a new head yesterday. Jennifer Shasky Calvery will be the new Director of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (also called FinCEN) at the Treasury Department, according to a department press release. FinCen is charged with protecting the U.S. financial system from money laundering activities, as well as other forms of financial crime.

Shasky Calvery has worked at the Justice Department since 2010 as chief of the department's Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section.

She has served at the Justice Department for 15 years, working mostly on financial crime.
