Danske Bank has completed its three-year probation as part of a settlement with U.S. authorities and the Danish National Unit for Special Crimes. This concludes the case concerning money laundering at its former Estonian branch. In December 2022, Danske Bank agreed to pay 15.3 billion kroner in a coordinated settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice, SEC, and NSK. The bank admitted to fraud charges and implemented measures to prevent future misconduct. CEO Carsten Egeriis stated that all formal proceedings concerning foreign clients in the former Estonian branch are concluded, emphasizing a commitment to prevent similar actions in the future. The money laundering case was first reported in 2017, involving transactions of 140 billion kroner from Russia through Danske Bank’s Estonian branch.
