Estonian prosecutors have detained 10 people suspected of money laundering through the Estonian branch of Danske Bank, AP reported.
Danish authorities on Wednesday filed preliminary charges against Danske Bank amid the country's anti-money laundering legislation in connection with perennial violations in the Estonian unit, Danske Bank said in a statement.
The State Prosecutor of Denmark for particularly serious economic and international crimes accused a financial organization following an investigation launched in August, 2018.
“The Danish bank admitted in September that some 200 billion euros ($227 billion) had flown through accounts at its Estonian branch from 2007 to 2015, following reports of transfers, including from family members of Russian President Vladimir Putin,” the source said.
