Of course, in some former communist countries it is not unknown for banks to be controlled by members of criminal networks but some people might think that could not happen in the West. In the recent Sicilian case the Mafia attempted to set up a bank in cyberspace. However, earlier this year it was claimed that a real Wall Street bank, the DMN Capital Investment Bank, had been established by the Mafia as an instrument for carrying out various scams. These stories remind me of the novel, "Nest of Vipers" by Linda Davies (my sister who is herself a former banker who worked both in New York and London), which also features a bank controlled by the Mafia.
