MoneyGram International Inc. has agreed with the Middle District of Pennsylvania and the U.S. Department of Justice to extend its deferred prosecution agreement for an additional 45 days to March 23.
The company previously extended the deferred prosecution agreement to Feb. 6 in an agreement made in November 2017.
The extension is intended to give MoneyGram and regulators more time to discuss whether the company is in compliance with the deferred prosecution agreement.
MoneyGram entered the deferred prosecution agreement Nov. 8, 2012, after a settlement was reached with Pennsylvania and the Justice Department relating to an investigation of transactions involving some of the company's U.S. and Canadian agents, as well as fraud complaint data and the consumer anti-fraud program, from 2003 to early 2009.
