Abstract
We prove that a finitely generated Lie algebra such that (i) every commutator in generators is ad-nilpotent, and (ii) satisfies a polynomial identity, is nilpotent. As a corollary we get that a finitely generated residually- torsion group whose pro- completion satisfies a pro- identity is finite.
