Deutsche Bank may have been key in stalling Danske’s laundromat

COPENHAGEN: Even while caught up in its own suspect transactions in Russia, Deutsche Bank AG may have helped curb the flow of illicit billions through Danske Bank A/S’ branch in Estonia.

Deutsche Bank started rejecting individual dollar transactions going through Danske’s branch in Tallinn in 2014, and completely withdrew its services a year later, according to a person familiar with the matter, who asked not to be named because the information isn’t public.
