Citigroup, hit by Mexico fraud, cuts previous results

The giant bank says fraud was recently discovered at a subsidiary in Mexico, and adjusts its 2013 profit to be $235 million lower

Citigroup said it is cutting its fourth-quarter and full-year results by about $235 million after allegedly being duped by fraudulent billings at its Mexico unit.

The adjustment comes after Citigroup investigated its dealings with a Mexican oil services company, Oceanografia, and found that $400 million owed to Citigroup's Mexican unit were invalid.
