June 3 (Reuters) - A former TD Bank employee falsified documents to open dozens of accounts and provided concierge-like services to help cash flow across borders, Bloomberg News reported on Monday.

Gerry Aquino Vargas, the now-former retail banker in Hollywood, Florida, an outpost of TD Bank, took a series of $200 bribes to help clients move millions to Colombia by skirting anti-money-laundering defenses, the report said, citing American prosecutors.

The lender is facing a U.S. Department of Justice investigation over its ties to a $653 million drug money-laundering case in New York and New Jersey, which is related to illegal drug sales and an employee taking a bribe to facilitate the laundering of drug money.

Last year, the bank disclosed it was cooperating with authorities in an investigation into its anti-money laundering compliance program by the DoJ.

TD Bank did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment.
