The chief compliance officer of Britain's HSBC says he is stepping down from that position after an investigation found that lax controls at the international bank allowed Mexican drug cartels to launder billions of dollars through its U.S. operation and other illicit transactions.

He added, however, "We know we should have done this better, sooner."
