“Deutsche Bank’s offices in Frankfurt and Berlin have been raided by officials as part of an inquiry into money laundering. In a statement, the Office of the Federal Prosecutor said it was conducting an investigation, involving the Federal Criminal Police Office, into ‘unknown individuals and employees’ at Germany’s largest bank. It said Deutsche Bank had ‘maintained business relationships in the past with foreign companies’ which were suspected of ‘having been used for money laundering purposes as part of further investigations.’ … German media reported that the case carries possible links to Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, a claim his lawyers say is ‘entirely false and inaccurate.'” (01/29/26)
