NEW YORK: Deutsche Bank AG chief executive officer John Cryan failed to reach an agreement with the US Justice Department to resolve a years-long investigation into its mortgage-bond dealings during a meeting in Washington, Germany’s Bild newspaper reported.
The meeting was meant to negotiate the multi-billion-dollar settlement the bank will have to pay to resolve alleged misconduct arising from its dealings in residential-mortgage backed securities that led to the 2008 financial crisis, according to a Bild am Sonntag report.
