The chief executive of one of Sweden's largest banks was fired in the wake of allegations that the bank was connected to a massive money laundering scandal in the Baltic countries.
Swedbank's headquarters in Sundbyberg, Stockholm, Wednesday March 27, 2019. The headquarters of one of Sweden's largest banks are being raided by authorities as part of an investigation into whether Swedbank was connected to a massive money laundering scandal in the Baltic countries. mail
The decision came a day after Sweden's Economic Crime Authority raided the banks' headquarters near Stockholm. Prosecutors are investigating whether 15 of Swedbank's largest shareholders illegally received information about the bank's connection to the money laundering scandal before the issue was made public by a Swedish television report last month.
In December, the chief executive of Danske Bank, Thomas Borgen, resigned after an internal investigation found that some 200 billion euros flowing through the bank's Estonian subsidiary from 2007 to 2015 was suspicious. Reports alleged that some of the money flows were from family members of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
