FRANKFURT (Reuters) - The German financial regulator BaFin said on Thursday that it had ordered the local operations of Standard Chartered (LON:STAN) to hold more capital, citing organisational flaws.

The German presence of Standard Chartered serves as the bank's headquarters in the European Union.

The order for more capital was made on Nov. 16, BaFin said, and follows the regulator's October announcement concerning flaws in the bank's structure.
