A raid is underway at Deutsche Bank over a suspected money‑laundering case. According to multiple media reports, investigators from the Federal Criminal Police Office (Bundeskriminalamt), acting on behalf of the Frankfurt public prosecutor’s office, began searching the bank’s headquarters in Frankfurt am Main and a Berlin branch on Wednesday morning.
The Frankfurt prosecutor’s office stated that an investigation has been launched against unnamed executives and employees of Deutsche Bank in connection with the money‑laundering allegation.
