The 29-year-old banker charged Monday with murdering two women in Hong Kong had been part of a Bank of America Corp. team that specialized in tax-minimization trades that are under scrutiny from prosecutors, regulators, tax collectors and the bank’s own compliance department, according to people familiar with the matter and documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
